Kentish Cubs recently visited the Devonport Lapidary Club Inc. - Public Page and what an incredible night it was.

Sandra and her team were very welcoming of our enthusiasm and took time to explain to our youth how rocks are cut and polished, how precious metals can be melted and set into rods and bars, how to pan for gold, gave us a few tips of places to find our own rocks and we even got to take home some special treasures!

The cubs (and assisting parents!!) all came away with an understanding and appreciation of the skills shared with us and several youth members and parents have expressed interest in future visits to the club.

If you have an interest or are a little bit curious about what a Lapidary Club is, why not visit them yourself. They will be hosting an open day on the 25th of July.

The sun is forecast to shine and the Claude Road Markets are on again TOMORROW!

One of our senior and very talented Cubs, has teamed up with a beautiful local artist to create these incredible Tic Tac Toe games that we will be selling at the markets tomorrow from 9am.

There's 5 designs to choose from but there's no holds on these so get in early!

See you there from 9am 😊

Winter is definitely here and for our Cubs and Scouts that can only mean one thing....

Fire pits and marshmallows!!

How great it was to watch the satisfaction on the faces of these cubs after they toasted marshmallows on fires that they built and lit themselves.

Learning important life skills in a safe environment is vital to the ongoing growth and maturity of our youth.

What a privilege it is to share experiences like these with our kids!

Good, clean, creative fun with NO devices in sight!

Did you have a marble run when you were younger? Maybe you still do, tucked away in a cupboard somewhere 🤔 They're the best fun ever!!

Last night our cubs were challenged to create a giant marble run using cardboard tubes, packing materials and anything their imaginations deemed appropriate to create a GIANT marble run.
The first 10 minutes was planning time then they jumped straight into the task.

The excitement, enthusiasim and peer encouragement in our hall was heart warming with some pretty decent results too!

Pics of the build are below with videos of the finished structures in the comments.

Everyone, including the big kids (aka leaders 😆) didn't want the night to end - we were having too much fun!

This will definitely be a challenge we revisit, the cubs have already started talking about ways to improve their runs for next time.

Do you know what Prusiking is?

It's a firm favourite here at Kentish Scouts and is the act of climbing a rope using a prusik, or friction hitch.

If you think your young person might like to try this (or any of the other fun activities we do 😎) reach out to us and they can join us for a 4 week free trial.

They'll build confidence, strengthen friendships and learn new life skills along the way too!

Cubs 8 - 10 years old
Monday night 6pm - 7.30pm

Scouts 11 - 15 years old
Thursday night 6.30pm - 8.30pm

Last last year one of our cubs set us all a challenge. He provided sunflower seeds, demonstrated how to plant them and explained care of the seedlings. He then challenged everyone to see who could grow the tallest flowers!

Look at some of our results 🌻

He also provided the potted sunflower seedlings we sold at last year's Christmas market. How did yours go? We'd love to see pics if you have any ☺️

The Bunnings Easter Family night is on in Devonport TOMORROW night and our cubs will be there proving that knots ARE fun!! 😁

Three of our youth will be leading hands on demonstrations of how to make Paracord People and cute little paracord Dragonflies.

This is just one of the many creative activities that will be on offer and the best bit??? It's all FREE and you can take your items home with you!

We'll be there from 6 - 8pm.
We'd love you to come and say hi 👋

It was a special night at cubs last night.

We had the pleasure of investing our newest cub to our pack.
We're looking forward to sharing lots of adventures and wonder experiences with him and all of our youth members.

An important part of being invested as a member of the worldwide Scouting organisation is making your scout promise.

Youth members repeat their promise in front of their patrols, promising to themselves and the group that they'll do their best, help others and live by the Scout law.

Always striving to do your best, helping other people and being respectful of resources....not such a bad way to live don't you think? 🤔⚜️
