St George's Parade in Alcester on Sunday 26th April 2015

We had a great parade on a glorious day in Alcester!

Well done to Kirsty, Christopher and Lucy for carrying out their duties so well.

Camping at our Headquarters for the night

On the night of Friday 24th April, 19 Cubs camped over for the night in Wilmcote. It was all part of our preparation for the big County Camp in three weeks time.

Many of the Cubs took the opportunity to complete their Artist badge, working inside late at night and early in the morning!



P.C. Humphreys Visit on 31st March 2015

P.C. Humphreys (known to us in the Pack as "Bagheera") visited the Pack and talked about his role within the Police.
The Cubs all got the chance to see the vehicle he was working with that day and sit inside - hopefully the only time that they will ever do that.

Thank you for the visit "Bagheera".

London Adventure Day on 17th March

The older Cubs went on an Adventure Day in London. It was, in effect, a hike with a difference! The main highlight was a trip to Downing Street...

 

Our day started early in Wilmcote. Having travelled most of the way by car, we got the Underground at Shepherd's Bush and travelled into the City.

 



 First stop was Monument and we climbed up all 311 steps to the top.

Next we walked down to the river, exploring around by the Tower and its Visitor Shop!

 

Then, we walked into St Katherine's dock to "buy" a boat. Once that area was explored, it was over the river, using Tower Bridge.

 

Having lunched by the river, we then walked into Southwark and had a guided tour of the Golden Hinde II.

 

By then it was about 2.15pm, so a quick walk to the Underground, more sight seeing at Westminster and then we made our way to Downing Street.



 

 

Every Cub had their photograph taken by the famous door and yes, the adults did too. No time to overstay our welcome though as we needed to walk up towards Horseguards.



The final walking part of the day was then to go up to Trafalgar Square and see what was happening up there.

Many of the Cubs hadn't been in a London taxi before, so that became part of our Adventure too. Leilah made sure Mouse got to see Buckingham Palace!

Finally, it was back on the Underground to Shepherds Bush, in the cars and home, stopping only for a trip to MacDonalds at Beaconsfield Services.

A great day was thoroughly enjoyed by both the Cubs and the adults.
