Father's Day Night

This week was our yearly Father's Day night at the den. This is where Dad's come along And are pit through their paces, and cubs have a chance to 'Wake up Dad'.

We had a great turn out of Dad's this year with only 7 cubs seeking a surrogate for the night. We had around 15 Dad's along.

First activity was to a game to sort the group into months of birthday without talking. Then tallest to the shortest in order.

Once done we headed in for craft activities. The craft item was a fridge clipboard for Dad. The Cubs were given a piece of plywood and sandpaper, and asked to get it ready for painting



Once ready it was outside to the spray booth for a coat of white.




At this point we let them dry and headed in for another game which happens to be 'Wake up Dad'.

'Wake up Dad' is a chance for six lucky Dad's or pseudo Dad's to have a cub ready them for work. This means that Dad gets a wash.



Then it was on to a shave for Dad.



Let's say that the Cubs think Dad is very hairy and needs it all over face.

As Dad is always hungry we have to to feed Dad a bowl of cereal.




After eating we have to brush teeth with lots of toothpaste







Next we have to do the gel in the
hair as Dad must look good for the all meetings.






And now Dad can head off to work looking fantastic - well sort of.



This is a bit of fun and the Dad's love being the 'victims' ahh sorry that should read good sports. The 6 Dad's were first timers to this event and will probably not come back next year :0)

Once Dad was cleaned up the craft activity was completed by adding magnets, drawing a message to Dad and adding a clip.

Dad's were then offered supper to cap off the night.

Well done to everyone of the night and especially to those that were brave enough to be put through the challenges last night.

Bring on 2012 - new ideas next year. Mmmm Just for men might be on the cards!!!!! For more grey hairs after this night!
