Cub’s Activity Day & Sleepover – Saturday 3rd June 2017
After the cub leaders scratching their heads with what to do this year for our cubs we thought why go away when we have got all we need at our head quarters. Apart from grass for camping, we had our luxury hall to sleep in.

Collins Pack – Fire Station visit
As part of the ‘Our World’ Challenge badge, Collins Pack visited our local Fire Station where the Fire Fighters gave a guided tour, explaining about the control room, vehicles and tools used for different situations. The Cubs had an opportunity to dress up in all the protective clothing, learn how to use a hose followed by a question and answer session at the end.
A big thank you to David, Dave and all the fire station staff for looking after us so well and making us welcome.
