The Welwyn Garden City Cubs have taken to the streets with Treasure Map Trails to discover the town's hidden gems, as part of their local knowledge badges.

The treasure maps, which were funded by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, follow trails all over Welwyn Garden City that show points of historical and cultural interest in the town.

The maps are produced by Treasure Map Trails, which has maps for towns all over the UK.

In Welwyn Garden City, map users must find 12 treasures, including statues, sculptures and carvings, challenging them to see familiar places in a completely new way.

Cub leader Viv Owen said: "The third and ninth Welwyn Garden City Cubs - and their leaders - had fun using the maps to find some of Welwyn Garden City's hidden treasures, learning some local history on the way.

"It was perfect for their local knowledge badge and gave them some map reading practice too."

Councillor Max Holloway, executive member for community and leisure at Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, said: "We were keen to help our local young people find out more about our beautiful, historic borough in a fun way, which they can also be rewarded for as Cubs. We hope they enjoyed the trail."
