Cubs
We have gained several beavers to join our cub pack. We also have
gained more young
people from our open night that we held in September to join our
adventurous cub pack.
Our cub pack had been super busy achieving a lot of activlty badges and
staged badges such
as, Environmentsl Conservation, Athletics, Collectors and Joining in.
These we achieved
through various crafts, activities and challenges on our local nights.
During October we held an indoor camp for the cubs, they had a
fantastic experience. The
time through camp they were able to achieve more badges which were,
Astronomer, Chefs
and Night Away Staged Badge. All the cubs left with big smiles on their
faces. The camp was
organised by Caleb and Sarah with the help of Joy and Richard.
Every cub in our cub pack has been awarded their membership award
badge and by doing
this they have promised to keep the cub scout law & promise and
code of conduct.
