Many thanks to everyone that provided a Scarecrow to make the Easter Scarecrow trail possible. In particular, Visit Highworth, The Saracens Head and Allen & Harris for selling the trail maps. In addition, the Scouts would also like to thank: Print Clever for printing the trail sheets for free; and Andrews Quality Meats, Highworth Emporium, The Highworth, Bloomfields and Weigh it Up for donating the prizes.

The Scarecrow Trail is organised by 1st Highworth Scouts with all
