Ghana evening

One of the Pack Leaders went to Ghana with her college. The Cubs and Leaders all supported her with donations of toys, toiletries and school supplies. Tonight we learnt about what they did and how we helped this small school and orphanage in western Africa.

First we looked at some of the photos that were taken

Then we looked at some of the souvenirs that came back

Then we did some crafts, we made our own kente patterns, coloured flags from Ghana and made some posters. We also tried some plantain crisps and fried plantain. They were lovely!

Thank you for a lovely evening.

Remembrance evening

To commemorate the end of the First World War, the Cubs had an evening about Remembrance. We learned some new facts about the war then each Cub made a poppy that we put on a wreath. At the end of the evening one of the Leaders put the wreaths onto the war memorial along with all those that were laid at the parade two days before.

Diwali

Falcon Pack have found out about Diwali and celebrated some of the most important parts of the festival. We were fortunate enough to have some parents attend the meeting and teach us about Diwali.

We made Rangoli patterns on the floor

We heard the story of Rama and Sita

We decorated Diva lamps, then at the end of the evening we went outside to light them.

Thank you for a lovely evening.
