St George's Day

This year our annual parade was in Studley and took place on the Saint's day itself - 23rd April! It was a longer walk than usual, but as the weather was fine, it was a great way to spend the afternoon!

Cub Leadership

It's important that every meeting isn't dominated with an adult leading every activity. Of course that happens on many occasions and often because we are instructing or being safety aware. However, there are many opportunities for our young people to shape what we do and their imagination brings a lot to the Pack. Last night, Phoebe donned a Leader's necker and led the games sessions. And, she did a great job of it too!

You can see from the smiles on the other Cub's faces how much they were enjoying what she was doing. Well done Phoebe.

Mouse is back on his travels

We have a Pack mouse who gets to go to lots of different places. During the recent half-term, William took him to Warner Brother's Harry Potter studios.

Where next we wonder?

Helen Watts - local Author

We were delighted to welcome back Helen Watts for our first meeting in February to meet with our current group of Cub Scouts. Helen completed the Bookreader badge with each of them, as well as talking about her work as a writer. Helen lives in Wilmcote and her book "No Stoned Unturned" is an excellent read for older children.

Tin Can Cooking

Cooking is always a favourite with our Cubs and on a cold night in January we cooked lots of pancakes on tops of tin cans.

Cub100 Party: Friday 16th December 2016

Cub Packs across the country gathered on Friday 16th December 2016 to mark the 100th birthday of Cub Scouts (originally Wolf Cubs). At 19.16hrs, the Cubs renewed their Cub Scout Promise.



During the two hour Party, the Cubs played games, ate party food and had lots of fun with a magician and clown.

International badge

We've been working our way through the four modules needed for the International activity badge. It seemed a natural thing to do given our trip to France. This week, Tuesday 13th December was St Lucia's Day in - amongst other countries in some other similar forms - Sweden, so we held our own Light Festival at the end of the meeting. St Lucia is celebrated as a Saint because of her care and thoughfulness for the Christians hiding from persecution in the catacombs. As she wanted to carry as much food as possible, she wore her candles on her head to keep her hands free.

Sophie was our Saint Lucia (or Lucy) and once the Cubs had made their ceremonial candle holders, we walked around the green areas and they formed a candle and sparkler lit guard of honour for our Saint!
