...cubs

There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.  

Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.

County Chess Competition

Saturday, 30^th January, saw six Districts enter teams for the annual chess competition. The Cubs were excellently behaved and followed the chess adjudicators’ instructions to the letter – just like every Cub Scout event that is organised.

The concentration was amazing. Parents were banished and leaders were locked away to make sure there were no distractions.

After two hours Wallingford District emerged as the winners with Oxford Spires as runners up.

Many thanks to all those who took part and especially to our judges.

Next year will see the event taking place in Cholsey HQ on Saturday 29^th January.

For this we are at 33^rd Oxford, Kidlington and the competition begins at 10.00. Teams of 6 from each District who then form 3 teams of 2 will compete.

May Day – Saturday15th /Sunday 16^th May

A new activity this year just for 6ers. This is going to be based on survival skills and those all important things the Cubs need to know to enable them to move on to Scouts.

We are going to be based at 24^th Abingdon which is at Dry Sandford.
