Month: February 2018
Scouts back at the gym to continue their skills challenge badge (fitness). Thanks again Dave for putting the scout through the different stations. I’m sure there are some sore arms and legs after the work out. Dave gave out two gold stars to Stacie and Adam Feeney for improvement.

KIT NOTES
I cannot stress the importance of labelling / naming everything. Cubs will be in tents, they will pull their ruckackcontents out and mix it up. They will leave stuff lying around in the wrong places. Other cubs will have headtorches and other things that look the same…… sharpie markers and labels…. saves a lot of arguing.
DO NOT SEND PHONES OR GADGETS! They will be confiscated if seen and probably get broken if not. Phones add to homesickness and the home contact (Intouch system) will be in place. Other electronic gadgets will get broken, run out of batteries, mixed up etc… They will not need anything like this.
Did i mention labelling everything?
