Weekly Summary

Last week we celebrated Guy Falkes night with an amazing array of fireworks at the hut, this was a group event and it was fantastic to see so many young people and adults from Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.  The collection go towards the Brownsie Island camp next year, I’m pleased to say we raised £275, so many, many thanks for all the kind donations!

This weekend we also collected donations for the Poppy Appeal, all the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts did us proud. We met some lovely people and I’m sure we raised plenty for the appeal, we will find out the exact amount soon.

Next meeting

There is not a Cubs meeting this week, the next meeting is 19th November.

Weekly Summary

Last week the Cubs learnt to make paracord survival bracelets, which we will sell at a local church event, raising money for the Brownsie Island Camp.

They all did well with a complicated knots, although it will take a few more practise sessions for them to be able to complete them on their own.

Next meeting

This week we will celebrate fireworks night at the scout hut, there will be plenty of fireworks, burgers, hot dogs and drinks.  We will also have a collection, again to raise funds for the Brownsie Island Camp next year.
