Weekly Summary
Last week the Cubs completed a number of small challenges, they all had a great time and have taken home personal challenges for the rest of term.
If you can confirm how well they have done with their personal challenges, we can provide them with the Personal Challenge badge.
Several of the group also went to Gullivers Land at the weekend, this was an excellent event and all the Cubs had a great time. They were all very well behaved and showed respect for all the other Cubs at the day out (there were over 150 Cubs there!).
A small gallery has been started on the website:

This week the Cubs will learn about what to pack for camps, we will also discuss items that shouldn’t be taken and the reasons why.
Events
https://www.onlinescoutmanager.co.uk/parents/events.phpDistrict Camp: Sixers and Seconders
Date/time: 28th June 18:00 – 30th June 12:00
A really special camp for Sixers and Seconders (and others if there’s space and you are invited) spent with other 6ers/2nders from other groups. Only once a year.
A great way to meet the other groups; show off skills and to learn. To make good friends that you may see again later in Scouts and Explorers.
District helped by our leaders will be laying on all the activities from water sports to climbing/shooting and archery.
At Thriftwood Brentwood – Car share if you can.

Leaders may decide that this might be a backwoods cooking camp (Cubs to start up their own fire, cooking meals over their own fire, no dining shelter, no kitchen tent!, cubs to wash and clean all their cooking pots and pans etc..
Cost will most likely be £50.
