This evenings pack night followed on from the Harry Potter themed evenings of grid references and basic map skills.
We started in the usual manner of playing a couple of games to use up some of that end of term energy and then settled down to talking about routes and the planning involved.
Once we had finished this, we then ventured out for a brisk walk around the village (it was too much of a nice evening not too!).
The cubs were asked to discuss in pairs what they would take with them in a day sack if they were to go out of a days hike and we would compile the list once back in the hall.
The cubs really enjoyed the walk and we were treated to a fantastic sunset. After talking about what they may take, some we'd simply have to define as Bear Grylls and others as an Ox. They would either take the absolute minimum or everything, one cubs list included 8 litres of bottled water!
Needless to say, their hike won't require too much. Facing facts, carrying their own coat can prove a challenge for some.
We have now finished for the end of term so there is NO cubs for two weeks. We'll see you all back in the hall on 20th April.
