Some of the best conversations don't happen sat across a table. They happen walking up a hill, washing up after camp tea, or sat round a fire when it's gone quiet.
🔥🔥🔥

Today is World Mental Health Day. Young people told us they want Scouts to be a safe, judgement-free space, and that starts with simple things: noticing when a mate's a bit quiet, and asking twice.

Have you managed to pop some blue tokens in our box at one of the Tesco stores in town yet? Tesco Extra
We are hoping to use this funding to create an allotment plot that will be used by our Scout Group, from ages 6-14, to learn some basic DIY, planting and looking after vegetables and flowers whilst maintaining the plot to keep it tidy and safe.
Please help us to buy the basic tools to help our plot grow 🪏🫜

⚜️ Money Skills badge and beating the banker was tonight’s aim for the Cubs.
They worked to create their own currency, unique to their Six, to spend on marshmallows ready for indoor s’mores.
The currency had to include:
💙 a famous person
💚 landmark or landscape
❤️ something they enjoyed recently at Cubs
🖤 a scouting quote
The banker was ruthless and checked for forgeries and any rejected notes were sent back to the production line 💷

June 24th 1916: The launch of 'Wolf Cubs' by General Robert Baden-Powell, for boys aged 8 - 10. It was themed on Jungle Book, by Baden-Powell's friend and neighbour, Rudyard Kipling, with adult leaders named after the story characters ie Akela, Baloo and Bagheera. In 1966 the name was changed from 'Wolf Cubs' to 'Cub Scouts'.
