Cubs  

 

 

Cub Scouts are young people usually aged between eight and ten and a half years old. They come along to the Cub Scout Pack wanting fun, adventure and friendship. With opportunities to go on visits, explore the outdoors, play games and try new things, there's rarely a dull moment!

Whether it's visiting the local fire station, competing in a swimming gala or spending a night under canvas, boys and girls across the UK enjoy getting together to do their best.

District Orienteering
The District Orienteering competition took place at Rushall Woods, near Pangbourne, on Saturday 10th May. Sadly no photographs, but we should all congratulate Jack and Tom from 4th Wokingham, who won in a time of 10 minutes 27 seconds. A big "Well Done" also to Albert and Oliver of 1st Swallowfield, who came second in 13 minutes 10 seconds and to Samuel and James from 1st Finchampstead Leopards, who were third in 15 minutes and 31 seconds. Just a little consternation for the last ones in, who were sure they weren't lost, so didn't blow their whistles! You may discover a little more on the Berkshire Orienteers web site.
District Quiz
The Cubs District Quiz took place on March 8th at 1st Wokingham's headquarters. As ever John Shortland prepared the questions and bases, but was not able to be there on the day, so Debs Parker ran the afternoon and ensured that everything was in place. Here are some photographs of the three best teams being presented with their certificates and the trophy by County Cub Leader, Lynn Smith, as well as some of the people we'd like to thank for making it all happen.

And on 26th April at Earleywood, The winners of the District Quiz, 4th Wokingham, went on to win the County Quiz. Well done guys! Just the one photo!

Sixers' Supper
At the beginning of March, the District's Sixers gathered at the restaurant at the Henry Street Garden Centre in Arborfield for the annual Sixers' Supper. Nearly every pack was represented and here are some photos, including some of our guest presenter, PC Adrian Hodges and some of his props. PC Hodges is actually a Cub Leader in another District in Berkshire.
District Cooking Competition.
Just four teams entered the competition which was organised by 1st Woosehill's leaders and held at their HQ in mid November. Anyway, those who did go along had a great time and there are some photos here. The challenge was to prepare a two course meal, and had a bit of a twist in that they had to make their own sausages! Andrew sampled each team's results and was pleased to report that those results were really very good and that hygiene, health and safety were not forgotten in the process. The eventual winners were 1st Emmbrook and the trophy they took away had another twist to it - it was a wooden spoon! All the participants completed their Chef's Badge in the process.
Cubs Activity Weekend at Marchants Hill
During the first weekend of half term in October, 1st Emmbrook Cubs organised an activity weekend at Marchants Hill near Guildford for the District's Cubs and here are just a few photos to show everyone what a great time they had. Ruth reported that she was really looking forward to the next time!
