Week 2 - New Six leaders

After seeing off three of our older Cub Scouts to Scouts last week, it left us with holes to fill. So with a lot of email chatter the following occured.

+ Gavin was appointed a Sixer of Black
+ Luke his Second
i
+ Alex L was appointed Sixer of Red
+ Alex H her second

+ Elly remains Sixer of Tawny
+ Braeden is now her second

+ Ben A was appointed Sixer of Brown
+ Nathasa his Second

We have 2 more to appoint to White next week.

Well done to you.all. You now need to be leaders and help your six out.

As sometimes happens we reopen a Six called Akela. Sam and Kaleb, will sadly begin linking to Scouts and upon return.from Cuboree will move on. As they have earned all levels in Boomerang and achieved Grey Wolfs we see them now as the Sixer and newbie.mentors. As.a reult they were appointed joint Sixers of Akela Six. One of their duties is to look after all the newbies that come onboard and help them with their linking. They will also be expected to step in and help mentor the other Sixers who have just been appointed.

This Six is held in high regard and we know they will live up to the challenge.

Once the formalities were over we had a Cub Scouts Traditions night. Dingo started with a new game, that we will use again, and then sat the Cub Scouts down to cover off the how and why of the Cub Scout sign, plus provide awareness of Lord Baden Powell was.

We then broke into the Boomerang levels, while the newbies went off for journey card sessions.

We covered off Section 5 of the Boomerang award. Silvers got to hear the tale of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and understand about the yearsbthe Beenleigh Group has existed.

The Golds hit Bagheera up at the end as for the location of the next Australian Jamboree. It will be.in Maryborough QLD from Jan 2, 2013.

The Bronzes had to find out when Scouting started and when it started in Australia.

If was a full on night but we are back in the swing again.

Next week all Cub Scouts are to come in plain clothes as there is painting and dying involved. Scraves and Woggles still required.
