On March 13, the Cub Scouts went through Safety. This is a core teaching and due to its size we split in too. This week we had the Cubs Scouts run a skit on the dangers relating to poisons, swimming in deep water, driving in a car and being distracted.
For some of our members it was the first time they had taken part in a skit and they were all very good and funny. In the end they all sold the story and got the message across on the dangers that these activities can present.
We also split into the various Boomerang sections and went through wha the Buddy System was and why it is so important. It was also a good opportunity for our older Cub Scouts to teach the younger cubs about it. During this time they were asked does the Buddy System apply to just within Scouts and how it would work at home?
As unfortunate as it was that our lovely Paterson family lost their house to fire, it was a good example of how we have to look after each in times like these. Next week Grizzly will be going through the Safety section on Fire and using her personal experience explain the dangers of fire in and around the house.
To the Cub Scouts, the leaders were very impressed on the level of creative thinking for your skits. Well done, another moment for us all to be proud of.
