A PACK of cub scouts found themselves locked up in a police cell - for all the right reasons.

Members of the 2nd Bracknell cub pack visited Bracknell Police Station where they were they were met by Bullbrook neighbourhood specialist officer PC Jon Morris.

Around 50 boys were shown around the police station on Tuesday and Thursday last week to help them pass their local knowledge badge in which they have to visit an emergency services station.

PC Morris said: "It's always better to see youngsters on our side and take an interest in what we do rather than getting into mischief. Let's hope that having made contact with these 50 youngsters they won't be causing us trouble in the future!"

Pack leader Collette Culross wrote to PC Morris requesting the visit to the police station.

She said: "Many of the boys hadn't seen the inside of a police station so it was really interesting for them."

l The pack, which meets in Freeborn Way, Bullbrook, has two sessions, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6.30-8pm, and currently has spaces for more cubs in the Thursday pack.
