Congratulations George!

Well done to George, our most recent Cub to complete the Chief Scout's Silver Award. He received it after the recent Remembrance Sunday parade from Reverend Canon Roy Brown.





Remembrance Sunday 2014

We were pleased to be able to take part in the service at St Andrew's this year. Thank you to all the Cubs (and Beavers) who took part.



The Frank Latcham Trophy

Three of our Cubs - James, Martha and Scarlett - joined a West Warwickshire District team to take part in the Frank Latcham competition, held this year in Alcester. The competition was a County one, with each District sending at least one team to compete. All three did brilliantly, with their team finishing third. Well done Cubs!



Two More Chief Scout Silver Awards

Well done to Sam and Joseph, who have joined our growing list of Cubs who have completed the Chief Scout's Silver Award. They received their badges in September from two of the District Leadership team.



Bit of a Challenge....

We rearranged our meeting last week to the Wednesday night so as to avoid the England game. Those that could make this change of evening had a challenge: They had to use the available materials to get a candle so that it burnt the balloon. However, Akela seemed to have bought fireproof balloons, so the challenge was changed to burning through the string that held the balloon. Good news - all the groups achieved it!



PGL Activity Weekend

On Friday 6th June, we went off to Liddington in Wiltshire, for an activity weekend. Here's a few pictures of some of the activities we got up to:

  Aeroball (hard to see in a photo though!)

  The Giant Swing (check out the video on Facebook)

 Archery

 Crate Challenge

 Zip Wire

 Vertical Challenge

 Sensory Challenge

Making large Catapults

 

As part of  learning about pioneering, we made some mini-versions of large catapults at this week's meeting.

They were made out of bamboo canes, rubber bands and a strong plastic cup to place a ping-pong ball in to fire.

 

Some were defintely better than others, but they all fired in a straight line and achieved the challenge set.
