It was a very noisy night at the Cubs meeting last night.
After reminding ourselves about the reef knot, which we taught them last week, we did a couple of activities related to Communication.
One was to break codes, and then they created their own phrases using the same code.
The other was […]

Just back from a District meeting of GLVs to hear about the merging of two districts, to become one large one.
Sounds interesting.
I wait to see what happens.

We. Are. Back.
27 Cubs (inc 6 new ones)
4 Leaders
1 Parent (who didn’t help).
We showed them the Reef Knot and asked them to practice it over the next week.
We played games and invested a couple of Cubs.
They were noisy but it’s good to be back.

Good morning FediFolk
Happy Sunday.
After our planning session a couple of days ago, this morning I’m off to the hut to give it a good sweep and tidy up in preparation for our return to Cubs meetings, next week.

Looks like the holiday is over!
Planning for the new Cub term tomorrow evening. I have my ideas but need to bring the other leaders along for the ride - and get them involved in planning too.

Why is there a tarpaulin in the garage and how long is it going to be there? #ScoutingUK

This is bad. There is a #Scouts Challenge Badge, supported by #HSBC that looks at the (cough) positives and negatives of #crypto currencies. We are both siding this? Really? #ScoutingUK

I’m home alone this weekend.
What to do?
And since I can’t go anywhere, because of my back, I’m stuck in the house. Which is no bad thing, given the weather forecast! ⛈️
Watch a couple of films? 🍿
Read my book? 📕
Do some writing? ✍🏻
Might even pre-plan the next Cubs term!?
Suggestions […]

Young people just want to run wild in the woods. That's fine with me. #Scouts #scoutingUK

It’s our last meeting of term.
Even with my sciatica burning (that’s the general feeling) I decided I couldn’t miss the last one.
So, I was sensible, and got an Uber to the hut.
Hoping a parent may offer me a lift home - but not counting on it!!

After our Cubs bike ride on Thursday, I’ve been suffering from a very stiff, sore, back!
Yesterday I could only move very slowly, but I’m up this morning and almost ready for another week.
It’s our group annual BBQ later in the week. The weather is looking fine for that; so looking forward to […]

A hand holding a red paper airplane. Just the nose is in view. Behind this, some trees, and out of focus, standing on the lawn, a group of Cubs waiting to test their paper airplane
At Cubs this evening we split into two groups.
1. Paper Airplanes
2. Green Cross Code Relay
The boys had fun folding their airplanes into the same design then we had a competition to see who could fly the furthest.
The second group was all about road safety […]

This evening at Cubs we did the Athletics Plus badge.
All of it.
The boys enjoyed challenging themselves, although it took a while for them to understand they were not competing against each other, but their own personal best.
Some remarkable performances by some of them.
Importantly, they […]

The view of a lake and a platform where a pack of Cubs are watching the cygnets and swans. The photo is bordered by a large tree on either side.
Great news! The rain held off and we had our annual Cub pack walk in the park.
This is not our local; it involves a short drive but is a lovely place to visit. Large lake and plenty of “off track” woodland to discover old brick structures that tell the story of […]

We had a scientific evening with the Cubs:
- Seeing how a lava lamp works
- Watching what happens with eggs in water
- Making non-Newtonian liquid and getting quite messy at the same time!
It was a lot of fun and the boys enjoyed learning the different science behind each experiment […]

Every week I send a WhatsApp message to parents, reminding them about the meeting that night.
Then I get a number of messages saying their Cub isn’t coming!
It’s so frustrating when we’ve spent the time planning and printing stuff out.
I get that there’s illness etc; and we usually know about […]

I’ve not been around much. My dad passed away a month ago and I’m still feeling a little raw.
Unfortunately, as I was the sole leader on camp, and the only holder of a nights away permit, I’ve had to cancel our camp weekend.
I just don’t have the head to think about, plan, organise, run and […]
