🌟 Cubs Camp at the Hall - 24 Hours of Adventure! 🌟

What an amazing 24 hours our Cubs have had at camp!

Over the course of the camp, 30 Cubs challenged themselves with a variety of exciting activities including Archery, Orienteering, Pioneering, and Knife, saw and axe skills. Along the way they learned new skills, worked together as a team, made new friends, and most importantly, had a huge amount of fun.

Despite the weather doing its best to test us, with plenty of rain on the first day and strong winds on the second, the Cubs remained positive, enthusiastic and supportive of one another throughout the weekend. Some of us even experienced our first Campfire in the Hall.

For some of our Cubs, this was their very first time spending a night away from their parents or carers. They should be incredibly proud of themselves for stepping outside their comfort zones, embracing new experiences, and showing such resilience and independence.

A huge well done to every Cub who took part. Your teamwork, kindness and determination made the camp a real success. We hope you've made memories that will last for years to come!

Massive shout out to the Leaders and Young Leaders who supported this camp. 3 leaders and 1 young leader came straight from their First Aid training and 1 leader came straight from work. Without the dedication of these people, camps just don't happen.

Tonight was the last Squirrels before half term and as has become tradition it was messy play!
The evening was set up for the Squirrels to free roam between the 7 bases with help from leaders on 2 of the trickier crafts.
They made paper pumpkins, scooped the insides from pumpkins, made bubbling paint cauldrons, rescued the spiders from rainbow rice, threw pom pom spiders to stick to the webs, coloured Halloween pictures and made lots of pumpkins with play dough.
All the Squirrels had a great time as we could see from the paint on their smiling faces!
We hope you all have a great half term break!

🎡🥤 Spin the Wheel: Halloween themed Cubs Challenge Night! 🥤🎡

Wednesday night was full of fun, teamwork, costume and a few very questionable flavour combinations! 😂

Working in their Sixes, our Cubs took on a series of challenges that tested their communication, problem-solving and determination. From getting themselves into age order without speaking to attempting tricky skill-based tasks, every challenge brought plenty of laughter and some serious teamwork.

Complete a challenge and their Six earned a spin of the GOOD wheel 🍎🍊, adding something tasty like apple, orange, cranberry or pineapple juice to their jug.

But if the challenge wasn't successful, it was time to face the BAD wheel! 😬 That meant adding ingredients such as tomato or beetroot juice, Worcestershire sauce or even hot sauce to the mix. 🌶️🤢

Then came the moment everyone was waiting for...

🥃 At the end of each set of rounds, brave volunteers sampled a small shot of their Six's creation. Let's just say there were some very interesting reactions by the end of the evening! 😂

The night wasn't just about challenges though. We were also delighted to officially invest two of our leaders into the Pack, welcoming Haathi and Mowgli as full members of the leadership team. ⚜️ Congratulations to both leaders, and thank you for your commitment to helping provide amazing adventures for our young people.

A BIG shout out to the parent and grand parent who answered the call to help us this evening, whilst attempting to drop off there Cub and leg it!

A brilliant evening of teamwork, communication, perseverance and having a go, while also celebrating an important milestone for our leadership team. Well done everyone! ⚜️💛

This week our Beavers crept into their Halloween Movie Night, the final gathering before half term… the hut was filled with shadows, giggles, and just a hint of spooky magic.

They curled up to watch Scooby‑Doo & the Witch’s Ghost, following Mystery Inc through haunted forests, ghostly clues, and plenty of jump‑and‑laugh moments. A perfect mix of cosy and creepy to end the term.

Wishing all our Beavers and their families a hauntingly good half term and a super spooky Halloween. May your pumpkins glow brightly and your treats be extra sweet.

💜⚜️ Thank you, Raksha! ⚜️💜

Last night wasn't just about challenges and some rather questionable drinks!

We were delighted to welcome one of our District Youth Leads, who joined us to present Raksha (Shirah Blackwood) with her 5 Year Service Award. 🏅

It's a great opportunity to recognise the commitment that goes into being part of the volunteer team behind our Cub Pack.

Week after week, our volunteers help provide a fun, challenging and incredibly varied programme, giving our Cubs opportunities to develop new skills, build confidence, work together and experience things they might not otherwise get the chance to do.

Five years of making a difference to young people is certainly worth celebrating.

👏 Congratulations Raksha, and a massive thank you for everything you do for our Cubs! ⚜️

🎡🥤 Spin the Wheel: Cubs Challenge Night! 🥤🎡

Last night our Cubs discovered that succeeding in a challenge could be the difference between a rather nice drink... and something altogether more questionable! 😂

Working in their Sixes, they tackled a series of team challenges, including getting themselves into age order without speaking and attempting to flip a coin onto a fork from 20cm away.

Complete the challenge and they earned a spin of the GOOD wheel 🍎🍊, adding something tasty like apple, orange, cranberry or pineapple juice to their Six's jug.

But fail the challenge and they had to face the BAD wheel! 😬 That could mean adding tomato or beetroot juice, Worcestershire sauce or even hot sauce to the mixture! 🌶️🤢

Then came the moment of truth...

🥃 At the end of each round, who was brave enough to sample a small shot of their Six's creation?

There were some very interesting combinations by the end of the night! 😂

A brilliant evening of teamwork, communication, problem-solving, perseverance and, most importantly, having a go. ⚜️

🍿🎲 Traditional Games Night Continues at Wednesday Cubs! 🎲🍿

Following the success of Monday's session, it was the Wednesday Cub Pack's turn to step away from screens and enjoy an evening packed with traditional games, teamwork and plenty of fun!

Our Cubs spent the night exploring a range of classic board games, testing their strategy skills, learning new games and enjoying some friendly competition with their friends. The hall was full of concentration, laughter and great sportsmanship as everyone got involved.

One of the highlights of the evening was the chance to experience the iconic tabletop football game Subbuteo. For many of our Cubs it was their first introduction to this legendary game, but they quickly got the hang of flicking players, making tackles and celebrating goals. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm for a game that has entertained generations.

Activities like these are a great reminder that some of the simplest games can provide the biggest smiles while helping young people develop communication, patience, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

A huge thank you once again to our special guest for bringing along the Subbuteo set and sharing their knowledge with the Cubs. It was wonderful to see so many young people enjoying a true gaming classic and creating memories together.

This week our Beavers enjoyed a brilliant visit to Christ Church in Chineham, where they learned all about the story of the Good Samaritan and explored what it really means to show kindness and help others.

They asked great questions & finished by making their own Helping Hands to take home — a reminder of all the small ways they can make a big difference.

A lovely, thoughtful evening for our Beavers.

🎲♟️ Traditional Games Night at Cubs! ♟️🎲

Last night our Cubs swapped screens and controllers for something a little more traditional as we enjoyed a fantastic Board Games Night!

From strategy and teamwork to plenty of laughter and friendly competition, the Cub Pack got stuck into a variety of classic board games and quickly discovered that you don't need video games to have a brilliant evening.

A real highlight of the night was welcoming a special guest who introduced the Cubs to the legendary tabletop football game Subbuteo. Many of the Cubs had never seen it before, but they were soon fully involved, flicking players, scoring goals, and embracing the excitement of this classic game. It was wonderful to see how quickly they took to it and how much they enjoyed learning something new.

A huge thank you to our guest for sharing their Subbuteo set and helping our Cubs experience a true gaming classic. Judging by the smiles and enthusiasm around the hall, it was an absolute hit!

Today our Beavers headed off on their annual adventure to Paultons Park, and what a day they had! From zooming around on the rides to exploring all the fun the park has to offer, they didn’t stop smiling from start to finish.

They were brave, they were excited, and they had so much fun making memories with their friends and leaders. A brilliant day out for everyone — we’re so proud of how they represented the colony!
