Last weekend, the Cubs held their Pack Holiday at the Holmbury St Mary Youth Hostel, near Dorking in Surrey.
On the Saturday we went to Drusillas Park and took part in a Zoolympics. The Cubs had to see if what animals they weighted as much as; which ones they could run as fast as and which ones they were as loud as. Back at the youth Hostel they settled in; played some wide games and had supper.
On Sunday they worked on the Naturalist badge, collecting bugs from the woods and pond dipping. In the afternoon they made rockets and did some long distance tracking. In the evening they held another wide game and a traditional camp fire.
On the Monday it was raining quite a lot so after packing everything up, we went to the Pool in the Park in Woking and enojyed the waves, rapids and slides. Everyone had a good time – Click on the photo below to see what we got up to.
Beavers, Cubs Scouts and Explorers all start back on Monday 7th January at the usual times.
A few weeks ago, the Scouts and Explorers were at Buckmore Park and did some backwards cooking.They took a Brown Trout, wrapped it in several layers of wet newspaper, tied it up with some string and put it in the embers of a fire…
After 30 minutes, it was ready – and tasted very nice! - Click on the photo to see more.
All sections started back after the Summer break on Monday. The Beavers made totem poles of heads, the Cubs marked on a map where they lived and went to School as well as other local points of Interest – and played some games of course!
The Scouts and Explorers helped the leaders by tidying up the cupboard and thinking about ways to recruit more Scouts – what do you think?
This Monday, 18th June, all sections are meeting at Buckmore Park.
Beavers and Cubs will start at the normal time as will Scouts and Explorers.
Anyone who needs transport to the park should contact their Section leader. Those using provided transport need to be at the hall at 5.45pm.
This Saturday the Cubs and Beavers are going the Funday at Gilwell Park.
We will be leaving from the hall and returning at 6pm.
Beavers and Cubs should bring a change of clothes, a packaged lunch and clothes suitable for the weather (ie, hot for hot weather and a jacket if it’s raining).
They may bring pocket money if they wish but willneed to look after it themselves.
Cubs can also bring a towel and swimming costume as there may be some water based activities for them to take part in.
A full write up about the weekend will follow, but for those of you who can’t wait, the pictures from the Cubs Pirate Camp at Downe Scout Activity Centre are available now.
