Explorer Scout mascot
Ben is a six year old Golden Retriever who was rehomed from DogsTrust Glasgow in May 2010. A big soppy mutt with a slight weight problem. The mind is willing (if food is available) but the body is weak (falls asleep after a one mile walk). His ambition is to regain some of his youthful vigor by attending meetings on a regular basis as the Unit Mascot.
