Oxley shield practise

Falcon Cubs and 5th Ware Lemurs had a practise session at the HQ for the forthcoming Oxley Shield competition.

They were able to practise fire lighting, tent pitching, knotting, first aid and cooking their dinner.

Cubs at the Lido

Falcon and Heron Packs ended the term with a visit to Ware Lido. It was a perfect sunny evening and all those that wanted to were able to complete the Swimmer stage 1 badge.

Hope everyone has a great summer and we look forward to seeing everyone back in September!

Ware Carnival

The Beavers and Cubs from the Group entered the Carnival again. This year the theme was 'Fun on the water' so we showed off the different activities that Scouts can do on the water, pulling along a raft and a canoe.

We didn't win any trophies this year but we had a great time waving to everyone that we saw on the route!

Teddy stretchers!

As part of the Pioneer badge, Falcon Cubs brought their teddy bears along to the Pack meeting and made stretchers to race them around the garden!

Racing the stretchers

We all had a good time and the stretchers mostly survived (well the first race anyway!)

District fun run

The Cubs of Ware & District had their annual fun run at Watersplace farm in Wareside. Lots of Cubs attended on a lovely cool evening and enjoyed the run around the countryside.

Well done to Braughing Cheetah who were the winners of the trophy!

Cubs from 3rd Ware joined in with the fun.

Falcon's summer camp

The Pack again went to Tolmers campsite for their summer camp. They had a great weekend, taking part in lots of activities. They were fortunate with lovely weather all weekend. 

Here is a snapshot of what we did over the weekend.

Cooking at Cubs

Those Cubs who were not going to Falcon's camp had the chance to light a fire and cook some dampers during the Pack meeting.

Bill showed them how to lay and light the fire and they had a great time cooking.
