Cub Scout Camp - the afternoon

So what do you do with 22 Cub Scouts when they have been to the beach. You sit them down to do craft!
With Mother's Day next weekend the Cub Scouts made a picture frame from timber, got to nail and glue them together. They then went about fixing sand and shells collected in the morning.

 

Their Mum's should be pleased with the results as most took extraordinary efforts to make them nice and picturesque.

While waiting their turn the other Cub Scouts were entertaining themselves with games frisbie, football and knock down.

 

Once completed and afternoon tea had, it was upstairs again to ready for downtime. We head off to the beach once more. However, we are no longer quiet puppies as we are now singing loudly all the Cub Scout hiking song. If people didn't know who we were they did after that. This chorus was hears all weekend as we hiked to and from the beach.

Once their all Cub Scout braved the rough water. Those not strong swimmers stayed close to shore or came in with a leader. It was a great way for us all to chill out after a busy day.

 

The walk back was long and slow. We had acheived the result of exhausting them :-). Back for showers and dinner.

McDonalds Fundraiser Night

On November 8, Beenleigh was invited to McDonalds Beenleigh to have a pack night and fundraise for Cuboree 2012.

Between 5:30pm until 8:00pm, a portion of the sales were to be donated to our cause. We would like to thank Stacey and McDonalds Beenleigh for allowing us to have so many cubs there and take up a one section of the restuarant.

The cubs were tasked with 5 bases,
+ knot tying
+ making poppies for rememberance day
+ making invites for grandparents to come along for a night on Nov 15.
+ road sign bingo
+ woggle making.

The Cubs were also treated to a McHappy meal for attending, which was put on by the Cub Leaders.

They all had a heap of fun, and I know Stacey and McDonalds were very pleased with numbers that showed up (25+).

I , for one, am proud of our cubs and I know the other leaders were too. Yes we can be noisy but the behaviour of our cubs is why we are being asked to attend community functions. I had some friends come along they were surprised at how well they behaved, considering the numbers we get.

Well done cubs you have earned the thanks and appreciation. We are still awaiting thw final numbers on what was raised. But McDonalds are keen for us to do it again.

As for our section it is really important to be out in the community and showing what we do and how well we do it.

Thanks to Grizzly and Rikki for organising the night.
