Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closed

ikki organized a visit this week for the cubs as they were  starting to work on their Community Award. We had a visit from the areas local Sergeant as well as the community police officers.

The police brought their patrol car as well as the community officer brought her bike.

The officers even allowed the cubs to hold their handcuffs – i did ask if they had the keys just incase!!!

The cubs asked many questions about safety in our area and how they can keep safe when out and about. The police were very good with the cubs and even gave them all a yoyo each.

Photos are going up of the cubs all having a go in the police car – no one got arrested but may have got close on a couple of occasions!!!

Tuesday will see cubs return after the summer break. The leaders have met and planned a term full of new and exciting meetings.

The pack will be working towards their Community Challenge awards for the term and the program has been worked out in conjunction with this. We will hopefully be visited by our community police officers, learn about our safety and the community we live in.

the next 13 weeks will hopefully see all the cubs gaining their award and other badges along the way.

District badge day will be held on Saturday 22nd November where badges can be earned, the group has a jumble sale on 4th October as well as a bag pack on Sunday 7th December.

Cubs will raise money for their chosen charity by Carol Singing in the community during Advent as well as a visit to the Space centre in Leicester. Our annual visit to the Pantomime will be a real treat in the new year.

The new term will see 5 cubs transfer to scouts and 5 beavers moving up. We wish them all well. the end of term we saw Amy leave following her studies and we wish her well in a new scout group in the future. Any parents wishing to add their names to the parent Rota please inform one of the leaders.

We now look forward to Tuesday when cubs will introduced to their new Sixers and seconders. Dont forget a drink and trainers its a sports night.
