The Whomping Willow

A great pack night this evening with opening games, and a continuation of the Harry Potter Grid Reference challenge. 

This again tested the cubs on a previous evenings pack night and took everything one step further. More HERE

The cubs put a lot of effort in this evening and really enjoyed it. We finished in time for a quick game before our reflection which needless to say had Belgium in our thoughts.

Navigate Hogwarts

We are preparing for a cubs hike, for which the cubs are to plan and prepare the route cards. In order to do this successfully the cubs need to learn lots of different skills which we are covering over two pack nights. 

At this evenings pack meet we looked at grid lines and contours, which Barloo had prepared. But not only had we done a fantastic easy to understand presentation, rather than Ordnance Survey Maps he had use the layout of Hogwarts and everything involved was to the Harry Potter theme.... it really captured the cubs imagination and hopefully will help for next week when we introduce the proper maps!

We had hoped to be hiking next week, but feel that we need additional time in order for the cubs to prepare properly. A new hike date will be announced soon.
