Severn Valley Railway November 22, 2009
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedThe cubs had a wonderful day out at the Severn Valley Railway today. even with the rain and cold weather we all still managed to have a good day out.
The cubs enjoyed a visit on the footplate of the steam train, our own coach to travel in (first class for some on the way back), we also spent the day in the education centre where the cubs took part in a questionnaire with the help of a number of willing volunteers and public telling them all about trains.
The cubs were in amazement at the height of the river severn and enjoyed seeing the animals in the safari park.
The behavior as always was excellent and was praised by the public on numerous occasions. Well done cubs and thank you leaders for a great day out.
Junk Houses November 17, 2009
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedCubs this evening had to design a house from a certain Country. Africa, Iceland, USA, China and Spain made purely from junk.
All the cubs ideas were exceptional. The African huts were very good, i particularly liked the USA house a huge white box with big windows and doors.
Cubs also had to find out 3 facts about their country – very well done cubs your work was exceptional.

Rewards night out October 27, 2009
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedCubs that had attended a % of group /pack /cub events this year enjoyed a night out at the cinema this evening watching Up 3D.
The cubs enjoyed themselves whilst russling, slurping and chatting throughout the film. They were very well behaved, well done.
Hopefully by rewarding the cubs for attending certain events throughout the year will encourage a better attendance at competitions, fund raisers and other cub activities.
Local Knowledge Badge October 13, 2009
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedOver the past few weeks cubs have been working on their Local Knowledge Badge.
We went for a trip to Weoley Castle Ruins earlier in the term, and the cubs were shown around and had the chance to try out costumes from history as well as acting out the time line.
Tonight cubs went for a tour around Selly Manor houses in Bournville.
We had a lovely evening being shown the houses, how the were built and what the locals did in the area at the time.
The cubs were given games and costumes to dress up in and we really did have a good night.
The cubs have been asked to design their own coats of arms, and we have had a good number of great designs. Also cubs are off to the Severn Valley Railway for the day in November to see the old trains and stations.
In all the cubs have worked really hard for their local knowledge badge and they really do deserve them. Well done cubs
