Founder's day 2019

On a Sunday as close to February 22nd as possible (the date of Baden-Powell's birthday) Ware & District Cubs have an activity day. The Cubs get to try lots of activities such as swimming, climbing, a treasure hunt, craft, problem solving, dance, an assault course and soft play. We finish the day with a service of thanks for the life of our Founder Baden-Powell where we parade our flags and renew our Promises.

Lunchtime!

Problem solving puzzles

Visiting Leaside Church

For the last part of the World Faiths badge we visited Leaside church. For most of us it is where we go each December to see the Christmas Tree festival so we met the Minister and found out some of the differences and things that are the same to churches that we attend ourselves.

Up in the choir stalls!

Skills evening

Tonight we made some rope using a rope making machine, drew round a Cub and added where we thought our bones and internal organs were and tried to clear up an oil spill-that was tricky!

The Cubs all had the chance to try all the activities and win lots of chocolate. A great way to start 2019!

Falcon Pack go ice skating

For the last meeting of term, the Cubs and Leaders of Falcon Pack went ice-skating at Van Hages. For some it was the first time that they had been skating, others were more seasoned professionals!

Everyone had a good time and it was a great way to end the term!

   Merry Christmas everyone and best wishes for 2019!

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.
