Last week Kayla brought us the story of 2 Californian girls who went missing for 48 hours when they got lost walking on a deer trail with their parents.  Their Youth Club training came in handy to help them survive.  The girls ate cereal bars, drank water from leaves and used a rainjacket to shelter under.  Thankfully the girls were found safe and sound but have learned from their experience not to stray past the safety markers.  Thank you Kayla!

Last week, Sophie brought us the story of a giant fat berg which has been discovered in a sewer in Devon.  The fat berg is 64 metres long and is made up of fat, grease and wet wipes.  This has reminded us all that we shouldn’t put these items down sinks and toilets.
