BEAVER Scouts at Culcheth managed to get hands-on with a genuine Olympic Torch when they were visited by Scouting veteran Eddie Johnson.
Eddie, who was one of the 8,000 people selected to carry the torch on its long journey through the country, dropped in on the Beavers at Culcheth Methodist Church.
He carried the torch in the Lowton area and was able to tell the Beavers – and their leaders – of his experience.
Eddie has been involved in Scouting for almost 60 years and was County Commissioner for Chester for eight years, until he retired two years ago.
But he is still very involved in the Scout Association.
Each Beaver got to hold the torch – and have a picture taken with it.
Eddie is pictured with the Culcheth Beavers.
