The secret life of a Cub Leader…

Long before Cubs even pack their bags to head off on camp, our Leaders are working hard to plan and resource our amazing camps.

And long after all the Cubs have been safely returned to their parents and their kit all washed and put away, our amazing Leaders are still drying tents and organising kit ready for next time.

The incredible experiences that our young people have wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of our leaders so now it’s time to say a huge B-R-A-V-O to everyone who puts their time into giving our young people such a range of amazing opportunities. Thank you will never be enough!

Sunday meant only one thing…time to prepare ourselves for The Leap of Faith.

After another delicious breakfast (cooked in the rain today), we struck camp, challenged ourselves to an archery tournament and had a light lunch before getting ourselves mentally and physically prepared for the challenge that followed!

All Cubs tackled The Leap of Faith with determination and it was great to see our pack supporting each other in completing the challenge, with some Cubs even helping the instructor!

B-R-A-V-O to all our Cubs (and our Squirrel and our Scout) for challenging themselves throughout the weekend and rising to the challenge each and every time!

This week, after a game of Elephant Football, Cubs worked towards their Emergency Aid Staged Activity Badge. With the help of some very knowledgeable mini-leaders, we explored what to do in an emergency, how to help someone who is bleeding, what to do if someone has burned or scalded themselves and we also practised putting each other into the recovery position. Even our youngest member, a Squirrel, had a go at putting our oldest Cub in the recovery position!

Well done to everyone for taking part in our session and for sharing their personal experiences of administering first aid and, for some, phoning an ambulance.

Whilst our Camp Chef whipped up a delicious meal of pasta bolognaise with garlic bread on the campfire, Cubs took part in some team-building and problem-solving games.

After our evening meal, Cubs were invited to take part in a campfire with a group of Explorer Scouts who were camping on the next pitch. A great time was had by all before a relatively early night in readiness for the next day!

The next challenge of the day was to make campfire pizzas. Cubs set us off by creating individual pizza pockets double-wrapped in tin foil and cooked on the fire. Leaders then took on their own challenge of cooking a frozen pizza which, even though we say so ourselves, was delicious!

The afternoon’s challenges included recreating the World Membership Badge using materials found on site, Minefield Maze, creating camp gadgets (comment if you can see what we created) and making flatbread dough for cooking on the campfire. Some of our young ladies even had time to stop off at the Camp Salon run by our Section Lead and sported matching hairstyles for the remainder of the camp!

Saturday morning meant it was time for a campfire breakfast of bacon and sausage barms followed by the first challenge - washing up! It was soon time for flag-break, led by our very own Maya and, after a bit of time on the park it was off to the camp shop for a spot of shopping before the next challenge of the day - Fill The Gap Map!

Last weekend saw 12 Cubs, a Squirrel and a Scout take on Challenge Yourself Camp alongside their Leaders at Bowley International Scout Centre.

The first challenge was to pitch tents by torchlight before cooking crumpets over the campfire. Cubs enjoyed some Kandersteg chat as some of our Cubs shared their international adventures with us.

After an evening of challenges, the final test (not set by leaders) was to see which tent could stay awake the longest!

Look out for more posts about our Challenge Weekend over the coming days to see what else we got up to!

This week the Cubs undertook their most important challenge yet....finding the best chippy in Chorley*

We split into group to forage for the best fried potatoes money can buy. We then had a tasting session to rate the chippies on quality of product, size of portion and friendliness of staff.

And the results are in.
