Our Thursday Cubs had a blast at Foxlake Adventures last weekend, and seriously lucked out on the weather ⛅️ We had the Aqua Park to ourselves which made the trip really special, and followed by an exhilarating go on the Ringo across the lake. Thanks for having our group- we can’t wait to return in the summer!

Our 2nd Uddingston Beavers successfully completed their experiment badge last night

🧪Our first STEM activity was the tin foil density test - learning that by making a tin foil ball in the air, bubbles of air are captured within this which reduce the density and causes the foil ball to float when it lands in water. When the foil balls were made under water, water was caught up in the these, increasing the density causing them to sink to the bottom.

🧪We then moved onto our messy activities. First, it was oobleck - A non-newtonian fluid that changes from a liquid to a solid when sudden pressure is applied.

🧪Next, was playdough clouds. Again, demonstrating non-newtonian behaviours by crumbling when it was relaxed and turning back into a solid when under pressure.

🌋 We ended the night with mini volcanos!🌋

Tonight our 2nd Uddy Cubs were sanding and staining benches to use round our fire pit. They worked brilliantly well together and listened carefully to instructions. They also took part in a practical quiz to identify different tools such as a claw hammer, spirit level, pliers, a wrench and wire cutters. Great work team- we’re all very proud of you tonight!

Our Scouts were out on a navigation exercise last night.

They were split up into their patrols and given a series of 6 figure grid references to work out and reach different locations across uddingston

They did a fantastic job ☺️

Always great to get them out of the hall

Welldone Scouts ⚜️❤️

Our Explorers session 2026/27 is now underway 🥳 we have begun to embrace the new Explorers programme that has been launched by kicking off with the Explorers money skills badge.

Last night our Explorers received £10 cash each. They were absolutely delighted.

However there is a catch- these funds have to be used to make a difference to their lives or the lives of other people.

Some further direction on this was to purchase a guide to help learn a new skill, an object that will help them succeed in the new school term.

They could choose to put the money in a.savings account

Donate.to a charity of their choice and explain why they have chosen that charity- making a difference and raising awareness at the same time

They could stretch their funds by putting their money together

Lots of ideas for them for how to use these funds appropriately. They have 4 weeks to action this and report back- we are excited to see how they get on 🤑🤑 and of course will keep you all up to date

What would you do in their positon??

Another great night at Beavers!

We started the night with the bean game, where the beavers had to do different actions and pretend to string, broad, runner, jumping beans or beans on toast - This represented our right to play.

We brought out some of our tents - these represented the right to a warm house.

We then made smoothies using a variety of different fruits - this represented our right to nutritious food.

We came back together in a circle and spoke about a few other rights. Finding our jackets, we agreed this was our right to have clothes that keep us warm and dry, and the people who keep us safe.

Great job tonight, beavers 🦫
