Ten Pin Bowling night

What a fun nightnwas had by the Cub Scouts at the Mt Warren Lanes. They were so well behaved that the general public provided three cheers for them.

Two games of bowling were completed and I believe they slept well that night also.

Congratulations to Jack and Matheus for their great dance moves to Gangangum Style and One Direction.

Great when they all havw fun and make stronger friendships. Well done you should all be proud of yourselves.
