🥫🛒 MISSION: FILL THE FOOD BANK! 🛒🥫

Our Cubs have been VERY busy making a difference! 💙⚜️

Over the past few weeks, they’ve been collecting food and essential items to help support people in our local community — and tonight they brought their donations together! 🙌

But we didn’t just collect food…

🤔 We discovered why food banks are needed
🥫 We explored what makes a really useful donation
🛒 We took on the challenge of building the perfect food parcel for different families
💙 And we learned how even a small act of kindness can make a BIG difference!

The Cubs chose this project themselves as part of their Our World Challenge Award, and it’s been fantastic seeing them get stuck in and think about how they can help others in their community. 🌍

👏 A MASSIVE thank you to our Cubs and all the parents, carers, families and friends who supported the collection.

You absolutely smashed it, Cubs! 💪🥫💙

🐾 It’s International Dog Day!

Dogs can be wonderful companions on walks and outdoor adventures—but responsible adventurers always give unfamiliar dogs space and ask the owner before approaching or touching them.

We’d love to see the four-legged members of our Scouting families. Share a photograph below!
