Ruaridh Gordon is taking on the Inverness 5K with some extra baggage - carrying his full Scout camp kit in his rucksack as he runs! 🎒🏃♂️
14 year old Ruaridh is one of two Scouts chosen to represent Inverness at the 26th World Scout Jamboree in Poland, 2027.
Every step he takes helps fund his trip and part of his fundraising will help Scouts from developing nations attend the Jamboree too. 🌍✨
A huge challenge, a great cause, and one determined young Scout showing true Highland spirit. Good luck, Ruaridh - we’ll be cheering every step of the way! 💪🎉
