Card for HM The Queen

During our first meeting back after the summer, Falcon Cubs made a card to send to HM The Queen to congratulate her on becoming our longest serving Monarch.

 

 

We are now looking forward to receiving a letter from one of The Queen's Ladies in Waiting to add to our collection over the years!

Oxley Shield 2015

Last weekend saw all of the Packs in Ware & District go to Rigery Farm for the annual Oxley shield camping and Scouting skills competition. Each Pack had to camp overnight, cook their evening meal on an open fire and during the day take part in eight different bases. There was mini-pioneering, first aid, knotting, communication, an assault course, tent pitching, map and compass work and firelighting. Falcon Pack worked well together and came 5th overall. This year there was only 15 points between first and fifth so it was a very tight competition. Thank you to Izzy, Emily, Daisy, William, Richard & Luke for being part of our team.
