Also the Hug a Hut weekend in August. Hope to see you all at both of these, but if you aren't able to attend we hope that you all have a good summer and see you in September. It opened with a carnival and a whole camp fire, there were camp fire songs on the friday night. the next morning the cubs were on the Good Activity zone, which had activities such as an inflatable assault course, bouncy castle and tug of war. After activities we had a BBQ, for the entire group and we were joined by the Beavers who had been on site for the day. Later on that evening there was a magic show for the younger ones then a Disco in the main marquee. The next morning they were on the last activity zone which was the bad zone were there was 5 a side football, rocket making, peddle carts. The camp closed with a street style picnic in the main marquee, where the entire camp was there. They made the flag based on the ideas that they had put down the previously. The ideas that they had come up with were very good, giving a good depiction of the things that we actually do in cubs. After they had finished they went out give for a quick game whilst inside was tidied up. at the end Pari gave out some more badges to those who weren't there when they were given out previously. Letter were also given out to those who are going to RexJam. This is just a reminder that the last £10 is due if not already paid. This has to be paid by next Wednesday, as it is to pay for the food. Also it tells you about the suggested kit list, this is only suggested it is not necessary to bring all of the items on the kit list the game was a draw all together as the cubs decided to play a different game. the cubs really enjoyed the night and ran off alot of energy. It was decided that we would do designs for the cubs flag that we are going to be making for taking to Rexjam, so they were all split in to their sixes and were given the task of coming up with designs for the flag, once the flag designs were done Danny showed them how to make a raft from rope some poles and a couple of barrels. once the activities were done we finished so that badges could be given out, we gave out nights away badges and the road safety badges. The cubs were first told about why the police need dogs like molly and the type of things she helps the police find. She spent a while going along all the chairs - we later found out this was because the drugs that were now 'concealed' had been brushed along all the items that were on the chairs. Molly then showed alot of activity by the cd player, the cubs were then told this was because she had found the source of her scent. After Molly had done her search the cubs met a trainee drug dog and played a simple game of showing a ball and then hiding it. The cubs then had a picture with the dogs before they went. Also Cian swam up from beavers into cubs. Its also been decided that so that we can monitor the behavior of the cubs and to see if the new sixers and seconders are doing their jobs well enough that we would have behavior charts on the wall. We also made some popcorn and were making up some dances. We decided to get all of the cubs to put up some tents in their Sixes to see if they all knew how to put up a tent. Also Ollie and Danny were showing all of the cubs the different types of stoves there are and how to use and maintain them. Later on in the term we will be showing them how to pack a bag and what they need to bring on a camp. We also continued with the showing of the cubs collections. Also they were painting hard boiled eggs in easter designs. when they all arrived they helped put up then tents, and up packed their things and then went on a short night hike with Pari and Russell. Then they had supper and then went off to bed. with the beavers they then built the fire ready for later on. After that they had a few games of football and rounders whilst they were waiting for their tea. After tea they had their camp fire then went into the training room to watch UP with the Beavers. then when the film had finished they all went off to bed. the next morning after breakfast they had a easter egg hunt around the campsite with beavers. then later on the packed up cam and went home. they were split up into two groups half did shooting with Adam and then the rest were doing fire lighting to practice for the up coming camp. Jake and Danny, two of 1st Rhosnesni Cub Pack's Young Leaders were awarded their Young Leaders Belt by Jan George, District Commissioner for Wrexham, on Wednesday. To get the award they both completed all eleven Young Leader's training modules and four missions, all designed to train them to be the fantastic Young Leaders they are. Well done both! They were doing things such as what to do if they had a gas or water leak or of there was an electrical failure in the building. How to protect the home from crime. Know how to make an emergency telephone call, including using mobile telephones, to call the emergency services. Know where the nearest public telephone box is to your house, or where you can make an emergency call should their phone be out of action. Also make a list of useful emergency numbers. Last week we were learning how to map read and thinking of different things that the cubs could collect to obtain their badges. Then the other group were with Pari discussing what different things that they would like to collect so that they can obtain their badge. |
