FAM closed but you can keep flagging

The Flag a Munro Challenge has now officially closed, but if you're still really keen to participate send an email to jamie.mitchell@dofe.org and she'll send you out a pack. Send in any pictures you get and they can still go up on the blog!

FAM Celebrated in Style

On Sunday, 20th July we celebrated Flag a Munro at the first event at Scotland House - the base for Scottish athletes during the Commonwealth Games. 

We were thrilled to have some of the flaggers at the event and thanks to everyone who could make it. All the signatures on the flag were collected to help us remember the event.

Aileen Campbell, Minister for Children and Young People and Paul Zealey, Head of Engagement and Legacy at Glasgow 2014,were on hand to accept this from the Flag a Munro Challenge. 

It is a collection of all of the Flag a Munro photos that you sent in - if you look really closely you should be able to find yours!

Thanks to the Inverness Royal Academy for sending in the photo that we used for the mosaic.

And thanks to all of you who participated in the Flag a Munro Challenge! Your hard work and determination has been above and beyond our dreams. You've really made Legacy 2014 come to life for the DofE, so thanks!

We still have some extra Flag a Munro flags and hand flags left, so if you'd like one as a souvenir, send us an email scotland@dofe.org with your name and address.

Last ones from RGC

Groups 2 and 3 from Robert Gordon's College flagged Derry Cairngorm, Macdui and Cairngorm for the challenge - their clouds are very atmospheric! Well done to all of the RGC groups - thanks for ticking off so many Munros on the map!!!

RGC take on Bynack More & Beinn Mheadhoin

Team 8 and 9 from Robert Gordon's College took on Bynack More and Beinn Mheadhoin for the challenge. Even though it was June they still managed to find some snow! Good to see it didn't get in the way of the flagging though.
