Chocks Away!

Welcome Back!

After playing a couple of games to burn off some of that 'cub energy' that you get at the start of term, we settled down to finish off a really cool badge -     The Air Activities Badge.

Towards the end of last year, we had the Christmas Camp and took the cubs to Duxford Imperial War Museum. As part of their visit, they learnt about the planes and the role of Duxford in the Battle of Britain. 

However, in order to complete the badge they were to make a model aeroplane. which we completed last night out of wooden pegs and lollipop sticks. Hopefully they made their way home in one piece, the planes not the cubs!

Next week we are doing important badge work, finishing off some and starting new ones, so it is really important that all cubs be there......as it's all about the badges!

Please don't forget the Cubs Swimming Gala - 23rd January (Late afternoon/early evening) 

An email will be sent out shortly confirming times etc...

Christmas Cub Camp

What a great weekend.... we hope your cub/s enjoyed it as much as the leaders. 

Despite the weather, which we thought was pretty kind considering what it could have been like it appeared that everyone has a great time. 

Duxford was great and entertained the cubs with interactive flight puzzles and games, not to mention the planes and the walk-through of Concorde.

The tank and land fighting  hangar also proved to be very popular together with a talk from one of the museum's staff on how Duxford was used in the Battle of Britain.

We got back to camp where our young leaders had prepared a Christmas 'Hunt the Reindeer' wide game before dinner, which was spaghetti bolognese with carrot cake & chocolate flack-jack for pudding. 

The traditional camp fire consisted of many popular songs before the cubs settled down to a viewing of the Nativity movie, projected onto the back of the mess tent. 

Hot chocolate ensured that they went to bed with warm tummies, and they all slept really well.

Bacon butties were the order for the morning, with an investiture and prayers before the cubs were collected. 

A big thank you to all the leaders for making this camp possible

See you all at the Cubs Christmas Carol Service
