McHappy Day Permission to attend

Beenleigh Cubs Scouts will be doing their bit for McHappy day on November 10.

The permission form can be accessed here

Term 4

After what can only be decribed as the busiest Term 3 ever, I can finally start to get things back into a normal pattern.

Term 4 starts back on Oct 9, this night we have a reshuffle of the sixer and seconds, invest joeys and a new cub scout, plus a night to start working toward camp in November.

Next Tuesday you must bring back the Air Activities forms and payment as the cut off date for confirmed numbers is Oct 12.

Now that things are back to normal I hope to keep the posts up from now on.

Kokoda tomorrow

Beenleigh will be participating in the Junior Kokoda Challenge at Nerang tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will hold off, otherwise we ar likely to be doing a hike similar to those at Kokoda during WWII.

Come rain, hail or shine we will soldier on in the memory of those that trailed the paths of Kokoda. Hey if our Cub Scouts can survive Cuboree rain then this will be a sinch!

We're back!

So we kick off Term 3 with a catch up what happened at Cuboree 2012. It was great still to see all the enthusiasm from that went. There was certainly a lot of chatter and remembering.

The video of photos was great, but Bagheera does want to add he had no input into the music. Unfortunately the lads putting it together only had Disney music left over from Cuboree.

Unfortunately our group Cuboree photo did not get done as we were a few down. We will be doing it again next week, but please come in normal uniform and bring your Cuboree gear in case we get 99% there. I am aware of one Cub being away on an outback adventure.

Thanks again it was great to relive Cuboree again, but next week we get into Fitness.

See you all then.

Beenleigh at Cuboree

Hi all, just wanted top post some of the photos we have had at Cuboree

The Cuboree 2012 adventure begins

All those going to Cuboree are sleeping over at the Beenleigh Showgrounds. The bus will pull out at 6am. See the Cub Scouts as they ready for the big adventure to Rockhampton and Cuboree 2012.

Cub Scout and Joey Scout Night Ramble

Last night saw the Cub Scouts and Joey Scouts come together for a night ramble around Beenleigh. This was a get to know your City ramble.

The members were given clues to locate aroind Beenleigh. Items to find were a Pizza Hut menu, Video Ezy magazine, train timetables, highest PO Box number at Beenleigh Post Office, plus many other fun things.

The night provided a chance for them to use manners and learn to wait patiently and ask for items without fear. These are all lessons that we have to learn and conquer as we get older.

Bagheera got in trouble for using his compass - not an actual compass - but his general idea of the area. Unfortunately Google Maps provided some help as the round about in the heart of.Beenleigh is a good basis for directions. Sort of helps if you inform others of it first. :-)

In the end we walked around for 1.25 hrs and ended up with a bottle of water amd hot chips from Red Rooster. The members, and those assisting, seemed to enjoy this activity.

Bagheera would like to thank my fellow leaders and parent helper, Joey leader and helpers, plus the two Cub leaders from Ashmore, as well as all the parents that came along. Your help on the night was invaluable and we have plenty of lessons for next time. One is to advise Police of activity, mind you they were in god spirits all night with sirens going off everytime they saw us out.

To the businesses that allowed us to take over stores; Video Ezy, Pizza Hut, Beenleigh Train Station,  and Police. Thank you for your patience and caring attitude as we came through, it was duly noted.

A special thanks goes to Coles Supermarket who supplied water for us as a gift, and to Red Rooster for the donation of the hot chips also.

To the young lady at the deli in Coles, your patience when waiting for the youth members to provide the words to earn the reward, is greatly appreciated.

And all I have left to say is bring on Christmas Ramble 2012 - Let's find Santa!!!
