End of term Swim and BBQ July 15, 2008
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedCubs ended the summer term this evening with our annual swim and BBQ at Blackwell Court. On one of the warmest nights to date it was lovely and sunny and the cubs enjoyed splashing around in the pool.
For the first time in a long time, cubs demolished 60 sausages and 40 burgers as well as a few liters of pop and 30 cakes.
This evening we said farewell to Limmershin (Amy) who is moving house and will be joining a new scout group in Bristol. We wish her good luck for the future.
We also said goodbye to Benny who is moving back to Thailand. We hope he continues his scouting.
We also wished Llionos and Michael best wishes for her wedding next week.
All the cubs now have a few months off from cubs returning on Tuesday 16th September.
19 cubs will be going to ABH camp where we will be overloaded with pirates for 4 days. Don’t forget your costumes cubs!!!!
Leaders Thank You Day July 12, 2008
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedSome of St David’s leaders spent the afternoon attending the County run Thank You Day.
A day of Blackwell activities and also a THANK YOU of Champagne and Strawberries for all leaders and their families.
The leaders were able to take part in activities we don’t usually get to go on as we have cubs or beavers with us and their is never time.
Some of the cub and beaver leaders attended the day and all seemed to enjoy themselves.
District Sports Day July 5, 2008
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedWell done – to all the cubs who attended sports day today and took part. It was a very long afternoon, dodging the rain showers but we did very well overall and i must thank the leaders and parents who came and supported the pack. It was mentioned how nice the sea of yellow St David T-shirts stood out.
Under 9½ finished joint 3rd out of 14 packs and under 10½ came 2nd out of 13 packs. Overall scoring St David’s came 2nd overall with 169th Quinton winning overall.
Well done to all the cubs and hope they will all support the sports day next year.

Hottest Day!!!!! July 1, 2008
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedToday was said to be one of the hottest days of the year. Great for an evening walk along the canals of Worcs.
Yeah right!!!!!! We set off from Hopwood and immediately walked into torrential rain shower. After covering under trees we continued up the tow path – to the biggest smelliest mud hole you can think of. yes on the hottest day there was mud!!!
The cubs were asked to walk round it – did they? NO! straight through the middle. There were leaders worrying about them falling in the canal there was me thinking what are the parents going to say about the mud.
We had only walked 200 yards and they had mud up their legs rain dripping off their uniforms – yes cubs came well prepared as usual – NO COATS.
Well we had a walk and cubs chatted amongst themselves got stung by nettles on the way. But we all had fun.
British weather you cant beat it can you?
