Ash Cub Pack

Our pack had a fantastic Summer Camp - click here>

In September we had a good explore of Norbury Park – cubs fave part was the tree swings! We made solar-powered ovens (from foil and shoeboxes), some of which "cooked" fairy cakes – not bad for October’s sun.

This autumn we invested 9 new cubs.

At our Bring and Buy, the cubs had a great time arranging, pricing and buying each others toys and books and we made £32 for Oxfam which we will ask to be spent on simple technology to provide clean water to people in Africa, linking in with our Global challenge badge. Continuing on the water theme, Sutton District Water also came along to talk about how we can all conserve water and the cubs enjoyed their own water filtering experiments. Many cubs have earned their Astronomer badge, part of which was to experience the stars and planets in an Astrodome.

At the District cub night hike we used the Group’s minibus to take the cubs to Headley Heath. Impressively no-one fell down rabbit holes as they admired the stars and their glow wristbands along the walk to Boidier Hurst campsite, where the Cubs enjoyed the snack and campfire and songs.

Other activities included an evening run by one of older cubs, a chat on Africa from a cub parent, our carol service sketch preparation, a trip to the panto and our Christmas party.

Thanks to our cubs’ parents for their help in our activities.
