Weekly Summary
Last week the Cubs planned that they will pack for camp, I’m pleased to say they all did really well and I’m sure they got the message about no electric devices.
Some of them even listed the correct sleeping bag, 3 seasons!
Next meeting
We are now focusing on the Skills Challenge badge, so we will start with the home skills badge. The Cubs well practice sewing, cleaning windows, ironing and vegetable peeling, I expect they will all take on these chores at home after the meeting.

Autumn Camp for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts
Date/time: 11th October 18:00 – 13th October 12:00
52nd will be returning to Skreens Park which is a lovely clean spot with some fantastic activities. The Beavers and most of the Cubs will be staying indoors in Leasman Centre, which has great facilities and sleeps 30. We are asking older Cubs to camp outside with the Scouts (and a handful of leaders). The site is a lovely clean spot with some fantastic activities.
Activities are still being confirmed, but will include
- Crate staking
- Camp fire building
- Pioneering (bridge building)
The cost for the entire weekend is £50 per Cub.
