The motion

That the Parliament congratulates BASC Scotland and Scottish Youth and the Countryside Education Trust (SYCET) on the successful revival of the Junior Macnab Challenge at the GWCT Scottish Game Fair, which was recently held at Scone Palace; understands that 109 children and young people, many of whom came from the Mid Scotland and Fife region, took part in the three-part competition; notes that the competition involved hitting a target with an air rifle, shooting clay pigeons and fly casting; further notes that the Junior Macnab Challenge forms part of BASC’s wider outreach and education work, which, it understands, engages with over 25,000 young people annually, and recognises what it sees as the importance of events such as the Scottish Game Fair and the Junior Macnab Challenge for promoting the wider understanding of the countryside, its sporting traditions and its wildlife.
