Cubs this week 8/02/2012

At the hut this week for the start of a new and exciting competition! Bring your green fingers.

Also last chance to pay for Chilly Cub.

See you then!

Disco Requests People!

Lots of people came and asked me for different songs at the last disco – it’s very hard to download them there and then as there is no internet access at the hut. Please leave any requests as a comment to this post and I will do my best to find them in time!

Reasonably mainsteam please!

Cubs this week 01/02/2012

At the hut this week guys as it’s due to be jolly chilly outside.

Thanks to all who came to Portsmouth and behaved themselves excellently! A great time was had by all.

We had a good time last week celebrating Burns Night, I was very impressed with some of the Highland Dancing – not sure everyone was so impressed with the Haggis!

Thanks to all those who read the website and dressed up!

See you soon

Yet another programme change

Due to an invite to help with an external project (more to be explained on the night), we have introduced another programme change to the St Nicolas Cubs plans for the term. Tuesday 31st is now an arty themed evening, rather than Hobbies night which we’ll try and fit in next half term.

Advance notice of Cub Camps

I have mentioned these dates to some of you before but with the new intake this term they are worth reiterating. Working on the premise that you can’t have too much of a good thing, there are TWO Cub camps next term…

12/13 May – Cranleigh Pack Camp – Bentley Copse
A 2 day, one night, back to basics Cub camp. Cubs will walk to Bentley Copse (about 5 miles) while the leaders move their kit up to the site. Once there, the Cubs will need to pitch their own tents before partaking in some traditional Cub skills such as pioneering. Sunday morning will be spent collecting wood and lighting the fires that the Cubs will be cooking their own lunch on, no fire = cold food (or at least something basic cooked by a leader!) This will be another activity for both St Nicolas and St Andrews Cubs following the recent success of our other joint events.

8/9/10 June – East Guildford Cub Camp – Bentley Copse
At the end of Half Term, Cubs from all over the East Guildford District will be descending on Bentley Copse for the first (in a VERY long time) District Cub camp. There should be about 120 Cubs from 8 different Groups all working towards a number of badges over the 2 days. Both St Nicolas and St Andrews are planning to attend.

Both Matt & I are actively involved in the planning of both Camps and so expect the activities on the two camps to complement each other, hence a Cub attending Pack Camp will still get a lot of Scouting value from also attending the District Camp too.

Once we get more details, such as prices, for these camps we will send them home, along with all the standard permissions forms.

PS – if there are any Mums or Dads who wish to get involved in both or either of these camps, please let me know as soon as possible so we can arrange CRB checks for you.

Portsmouth on Saturday

The day trip to the Historic Dockyards is this Saturday. If your Cub is coming along, then please read this letter. A printed copy should be sent home this week.
