...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 Scrap Heap Challenge

19 teams from 7 Districts took part in this years challenge. They were asked to make something based on a story of a machine that could magnify to such an extent that it could see back into time.....

Consequently the Cub Scouts made all sorts of models from telescopes to pterodactyls, well a Cub's approximation of one.They were marked on preparation, actual model and (most importantly for leaders) clearing away.

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.
