Cub visit to Worcester Cathedral

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:53:35 +0000

On Friday 24^th of February, the Cubs will be visiting Worcester Cathedral as part of the Promise Challenge. We will be having a guided tour of the Cathedral along with some interactive elements.

Could all Cubs meet at the front entrance of the Cathedral by 6:10 pm so that we can make a prompt start at 6:15. We will finish at the usual time of 7:30 please collect your Cub from the front of the Cathedral. There is no charge for this activity as the fee to the Cathedral is being met directly by the pack.

Please bring along the form issued on the 10th Feb (or downloaded from the letters section) with your Cub on the night to ensure that we have any emergency contact details for you for the evening.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

As Christmas is getting closer and homes are starting to be decorated for the holidays, the Cubs prepared some Christmas decorations on Friday evening by carefully cutting folding and sticking plain pieces of A4 paper and transforiming them into large snowflakes to take home.

The results were pretty good as you can see

District Carol Service – Cubs

admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:29:17 +0000

The annual District Carol Service will be held at Worcester Cathedral on Monday 19^th December.

The service starts at 7:30p.m. and we will meet outside the Cathedral (near the main doors) at 7:10 and aim to be inside by 7:20. It would be really nice if as many Cubs as possible could attend and parents are more than welcome to stay for the service. This is a really lovely service and a great way to start the festive period! The service usually lasts for around 45 minutes, so Cubs should be collected (if you’re not staying) at 8:15.

The 20^th Worcester Scouts, Cubs and Beavers attended the Rememberance Sunday service at Hindlip Hall and Church, with members of the Police Service.

The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts took part in a short act of rememberance at Hindlip Hall before parading with the flags down to the chapel for the service itself.

Ron Hesketh (Police Chaplain) said “It was really good to have such a strong turnout. The [Beavers, Cubs and Scouts] were well presented and their behaviour throughout was exemplary. It was a delight to see them enjoying the gardens of Hindlip after the Service”

Quidditch – Beaver & Cub Style

admin — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 16:17:25 +0000

The Cubs and Beavers got together to play for the Tom Riddle Trophy at Kinver camp this weekend.

They were split into the Hogwarts houses (Slytherin, Hufflepff, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw) and took part in a knockout competition of Quidditch to decide the winner.

In the end, Hufflepuff won the trophy

(NB due to the Beavers and Cubs lack of flying training, only practice brooms were used to avoid any health and safety problems. Any Cubs caught actually flying were sent home from camp immediately)
