Falcon Pack visit Tesco

Falcon Pack visited Tesco in Ware to learn about Healthy Eating on one of their Farm to Fork visits.
They were able to see how much sugar there is in items such as coke and different breakfast cereals and were able to taste different apples to see which was their favourite.

They were able to make their own breakfast cereals from different dried fruits, cereals bases and flaked nuts.

At the end everyone was given a bag with some more information about healthy eating choices and some fruit.
Many thanks to all the parents who helped out as well as the staff from Tesco, we had a great evening! 

 

 
 

 

At the end of the evening the Cubs were able to jump into the huge freezer and we could see how the temperature went up very quickly!

 

 

Christmas Tree

Well done to the Cubs and Beavers who created the decorations for our tree at the Leaside Christmas Tree Festival.

100 years of Cubs museum display

The Centenary of Cubs display has opened at Ware museum. We had a short opening ceremony with special guest Peter Raymen (former ADC Cubs) to cut the ribbon and declare it open!

20 guests of Leaders, family and Cubs came along to view the exhibition which is now open until January 2017.

Oxley Shield 2016

This past weekend saw the annual Oxley Shield competition for all the Packs in the District. The Cubs had to take part in lots of activities such as map & compass, first aid, knotting, tent pitching and an assault course.

 

Then it was time for lunch!

End of term activity evening at Tolmers

For the last week of term before the school holidays, Falcon Pack went to Tolmers. They were able to do the rolling rock climbing wall and gladiator wars.
We had a lovely evening to round off the year.

At the time we didn't know it would be Shere Khan's last evening with the Pack before she moved away from the town. :-(

Goodbye and thank you to Shere Khan

During the school holidays, some of the Leaders gathered to say farewell and thank you to Shere Khan and Mr. Shere Khan.

Shelter building in Presdales Woods

At the end of term, Falcon Pack went up to Presdales Woods to build shelters as part of the Outdoor challenge.

Our tea and cake stall is now open for business

Our tea and cake stall is now set up. We are raising funds in aid of our twin scout group in Medina Sering Mass in The Gambia. Come and support us while you watch the raft race.

District fun run

The Cubs of Ware & District held their annual fun-run at Rigery Farm. Lots of Cubs took part, well done to Aaron of 5th Ware Lemurs for being the first runner home. Falcons came in fifth in the team competition and Herons were sixth. Well done to everyone who take part.

Waiting to get started!
