Cubs

Our Cub Scouts take young people from the ages of 8 – 10 ½. The Cubs meet on Wednesday evenings, monthly subs are £12.50, which are to be paid monthly. The uniform is a green sweatshirt, navy trousers and our Group’s Kneckerchief.

Cub Scouts enjoy new adventures while making new friends along the way. Their commitment is recognised by over thirty activity badges. As well as regular weekly meeting, Cub Scouts also go camping, play games, explore the outdoors, try adventurous activities – such as climbing, sailing and archery, meet people from their local community, experience the culture of other countries and keep themselves and others safe.

This year three of the Cubs entered the District Cub Quiz where they came third. In February they joined other members of the Group roller skating and celebrated Chinese New Year which included some Chinese food generously provided by New Garden Chinese Takeaway (the owners children were former members of the Group). Some of the Cubs have also been working on their home help badge at home and nearly all of them completed their Environmental Badge. They had a slippy and muddy time walking up Robinswood Hill with the Scouts where they found snow at the top. They went on a visit to Bristol Zoo Project, where they saw giraffes, cheetahs, wolves, bears, to name a few of their favourites from the day. Completed the Beatrix Potter Trail around Gloucester. Some of them took part in the Group Treasure Hunt with their families. During May the Cubs joined the rest of the Group on camp at Trac where they enjoyed lots of different activities such as paddle boats, pedal karts, zip wire stand up paddle boards and lots more. One evening they spent in Gloucester Park completing their Athletics Badge. Quite a few of them enjoyed a kayaking session on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. The Sixer’s and Seconder’s joined in a wide game on Robinswood Hill where they finished in second place. A volunteer from the RNLI came and did a talk. They finished July with a joint wide game and campfire with our Scouts. In August saw 11 Cubs enjoy 6 days on Summer Camp with the Scouts at Rhydd Covert Scout campsite, during the camp they visited Habberley Trail, RAF Cosford and West Midlands Safari Park, they had fun in the artificial caving system, grass sledging, tomahawk throwing and also campfires during the week. In October they had a fun indoor camp at Cranham Scout Centre where they had a go at air rifle shooting, lighting fires, wide game, string trail, slack lining, and angry birds with mini pioneering.
