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. |

1st Finchampstead Cubs visit Wings |
|
1st Finchampstead Cubs from both Badgers and Leopards Packs visited WINGS on a Wednesday
evening. WINGS is Berkshire's International Jamboree held
jointly with the Guides in Windsor Great Park at the beginning
of August.
The Cubs and Brownies from across Berkshire arrived at 5.30pm
and were taken to the sub camps where they were met buy
contingents from across the world. 1st FInchampstead were split
into two and Dave's group were with some Spanish Scouts who
wined and dined them. Ruth and Patrick went to find them just
after tea and our cubs were teaching them a running around game
when we arrived. The Scouts were being chased by 1st
Finchampstead and loving every minute of it. After tea the all
the visitors were invited to watch the start of "WINGS Factor",
a talent competition on the main stage before going home at
8.30pm. As Dave said, most of the Brownies and Cubs wanted to
stay longer and watch the whole show, but it was bedtime!
Here are one or
two photos from Mang at Badgers, and no doubt there are more on
1st
Finchampstead's own web site. As you can see, the Cubs met
Scouts from Finland as well as a certain Doctor. Cub Leaders
from both Finchampstead and Finland agreed to forge stronger
links in the future, so have a look at the Finnish web site at
