Cub Activity Badges that can be undertaken at home

If you would like to undertake some Cub Activity badges whilst not at an organised Cub meeting, we have compiled a list of suitable badges together with the tasks that should be undertaken.

The next badge assessment evening will be at the beginning of next term. This will provide the opportunity for showing the leaders the completed tasks and badge requirements.

URGENT: Berkshire Cub Activity Day 2006 - Applications must be handed in

We need an application form and money for the Berkshire Cub Activity Day 2006 yesterday!  Please download the application form Cub_Activity_Day_Form  print it off and get it to me by this weekend.  Your child is likely to be very disappointed if they can not attend and we will not be able to do anything about it as this is run by the county.

Thanks

"Venue Change" - Night Hilke Tonight AND programme change again :-(

Just to remind you all that we will meet at 18:30 at the cycle gate on the cycle path on Lightlands Lane for our Cub Night Hike.  This is a change from the notice from last week!!

Please wear sturdy waterproof shoes, waterproofs, warm clothes (multiple layers opposed to thick clothes), gloves and hat.  Please also bring a torch, spare batteries and a drink (not fizzy and no glass bottles). Please do not wear jeans as they are not good for wet weather.

Pickup will be from the Scout Hut after hot chocolate :-)

AND YET ANOTHER CHANGE ...
Next week (15th March) has now reverted back to a Science Evening and the 22nd March is now the 'My Mum' evening. 
SO
The second science evening is on the 15th March, parent helpers are the parents of Jordan and Daniel.
'My Mum' is on the 22nd March, parent helpers are the Dads of Rory, Joshua Lucas and Cameron.

Confused?  Me too!

Robert Scott Cubs come 2nd at the District Flag Competition

On Sunday 26th February a team of 6 cubs from the Robert Scott pack went to the District Flag competition at Altwood school. The cubs in the team were:

Harry Woolley
Daniel Mills
Bruno Renucci
Tom Bright
Joshua Rollett
Christian Brown

There were 14 teams there from Cub packs around Maidenhead.

At the competition we had to carry out a number of tasks and tests. These were: kit inspection, first aid, obstacle course, tracking, Kim’s game (a memory test), knots, ball skills, general and scouting knowledge, the Royal family, country code, map reading skills and sound identification.

My favourite was the obstacle course. We each had to sit in a go-kart and go round a course as quickly as we could, trying not to crash! Joshua, Christian and Daniel tipped over when they did their full circle turn.

For the first aid test Daniel and Harry did a worksheet, me and Bruno had to make a sling and Joshua and Christian had to resuscitate a dummy.

The team got points for each task which were added up to get the final score. In the end we came 2nd  with 249 points and Pinkneys Green won.
