Weekly Summary
We continued to practise football technique as well as knots, the cubs are doing really well with both activities.
We also had the district 6 a side football event yesterday, whilst the 52nd didn’t win the Cubs all played their hearts out and really enjoyed the day.
Next Week
We will be focusing on a small pioneering project, it would be fantastic if the cubs can make a few camp gadgets during the district camp next month.
Tuesday will be Emily’s last session of the summer as she’s off to France to work over the summer, this will be her last chance to teach the Cubs the haka in preparation for the district camp.
New Website
We have created a new website for the 52nd Epping Forest South, it’s still early days but we plan to use this for sharing information about our activities and other information such as where to get uniforms.
Please do take a look and feel free to provide feedback.

Summer District Activity weekend (Whole group) representing New Zealand
Date: 29th June – 1st July
Location: Thriftwoods Scout Camp, Brentwood
This will be a huge event with beavers, cubs and scouts from all the groups invited, the last time we ran this event there were over 400 young people attending!
We are keeping the list of activities a secret, but I can confirm the itinerary will be full (much like last years sixers and seconders camp).
Each group will be representing a different country and the 52nd EFS will be representing New Zealand, so we will need to learn a haka and serve a local dish.
I’m glad to say we some parent volunteers so we can take up to 24 Cubs now.
This will be an outdoor camp and tents will be provided.
More details will be provided as a finalise the plans.
**We have extended to cut off date to confirm attendance to the end of May, you can still sign up via MySCOUT**
