Last week the Cubs learnt what to pack for camp (and what not to pack!), hopefully this means they will pack their own bag for the next camp!
Next meeting
Weather permitting, this week the Cubs will use tarpaulins to make shelters in the space outside the hut, they will also put up hammocks as well. This will also be a test of the leaders knot skills (I’m sure they all know how to do a truckers hitch)!
Another exciting opportunity to get out on a lake in a kayak, it’s a beautiful spot with various swans and ducks. A brief video of the location can be found here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xo2ryKvEBMyYGA2q7
The cost is £12 for a 2 hour session, the minimum age is 8.
You will need to collect and drop off your Cubs from the HYMB centre, there is a car park and you can wait onsite if you like.
Public transport is available, you can great a train from Stratford to Cheshunt which takes approx. 25 minutes. Cheshunt train station is right next to the entrance for the HYMB centre.
The cubs/scouts will love it and the water isn’t too cold now it’s warmed up.
Cub/scouts will need to bring the following:
Clothes to get wet in (wet suit, swimming shorts/costume etc.). We do not recommend thick tracksuits or denim in the kayak, they get far too heavy when wet.
Shoes to wear in the kayak (old trainers or water shoes)
Towel
Dry clothes to go home in
Sun cream (there is no shade on the lake)
A drink and snack for after the session
We aim to be on the water for 12:00, please arrive at 11:30 to allow time to change and a safety briefing.
District Camp: Sixers and Seconders

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.
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.

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!).

Last week the leaders had a nice relaxing meeting whilst the Cubs played games, everyone had a great end of term meeting.
Several of the Cubs and Scouts also went on the Spring Camp at Skreens Park. It was the first time in many years that the 52nd had camped at Skreeens and the weekend was a success.
All the Cubs and Scouts were very well behaved, helping prepare, run and pack up the camp. There was plenty of strong team work and everyone was respectful to each other and other groups.
Next meeting
The next meeting isn’t until 30th April, we will start focusing on the Skills challenge badge next term.
We have been very fortunate as a group, to secure these limited tickets and would like to invite you and your family to attend the gang show. So first come first served. It is £10 per person, please pay any outstanding fees direct to your section leader (Sue, Jody and Allen), manually.
It is a show like no other as all of the performers and helpers are either current or former Scouts, Cubs or Beavers. Everything has been created by the members from the dress, makeup and backdrops to the lighting, special effects and stage sets. It is just amazing!
Although more amazing is the amount of effort that each child puts in “to do their best” from the dance and song routines; to the funny sketches (Morcorme and Wise), juggling and magic tricks. we have it all . So come on a support them and give them some encouragement, you will be wowed and surprised at what can be achieved!
Bring along your popcorn, crisps and drinks, sit down and enjoy the show.
Only 52nd EFS neckers required on this night, so that we can identify you.
Families to make their own way there and will be responsible for their children. If your child wishes to attend and requires adult supervision, please let us know. – you will still need to drop off/collect though.

Date/time: 6pm 5 April 2019 – 12pm 7 April 2019
This will be the first time the 52nd have camped at Skreens Park in a number of years, it’s a lovely spot with some fantastic activities. We have booked a camp site next to a fire pit at camp isn’t the same without a good fire!!
It will be a Cub and Scouts outdoor camp, tents will be provided for Cubs and Scouts.
Parents and carers are welcome to join us, but you will need to be DBS checked first. Unfortunately, we may not be able to provide tents for adults.
We have been very fortunate as a group, to secure these limited tickets and would like to invite you and your family to attend the gang show. So first come first served. It is £10 per person, please pay any outstanding fees direct to your section leader (Sue, Jody and Allen), manually.
It is a show like no other as all of the performers and helpers are either current or former Scouts, Cubs or Beavers. Everything has been created by the members from the dress, makeup and backdrops to the lighting, special effects and stage sets. It is just amazing!
Although more amazing is the amount of effort that each child puts in “to do their best” from the dance and song routines; to the funny sketches (Morcorme and Wise), juggling and magic tricks. we have it all . So come on a support them and give them some encouragement, you will be wowed and surprised at what can be achieved!
Bring along your popcorn, crisps and drinks, sit down and enjoy the show.
Only 52nd EFS neckers required on this night, so that we can identify you.
Families to make their own way there and will be responsible for their children. If your child wishes to attend and requires adult supervision, please let us know. – you will still need to drop off/collect though.
As soon as book we can allocate you and your family their seat numbers.
Payments will not be refundable as these go direct to WFS district.
