Colin Stanford was presented with the David Jones Memorial Cup for the best individual total, 209.

The Scouts were also awarded 100 to give to the charity of their choice.

Although more than 600 down on last year's collection, the 8,180 put into 180 buckets this year was still the second highest in the event's history.

It will be split between the Sussex Air Ambulance, the 1087 (Arun Valley) Air Training Corps and Arun Co-ordinated Community Transport.
