They were encouraged to be creative and all of our Cub Leaders were very impressed with not only the effort but each and everyone’s behaviour and helpfulness towards each other.
See what you think to their efforts…
We are very proud that Mel Bond, who is a Network Scout and Leader in 1st Bedworth, has been awarded The Scouts of the World Award.
The Cubs learnt about the Bedworth Coat of Arms and how it was formed from many parts of the local area.
We also learnt about some of the famous people that were born in Bedworth.
George Elliot (Mary Anne Evans), Pete Doherty and Nick Skelton to name a few!
To bring out their creativity we asked our Cubs to design some posters to show parts of Bedworth and to promote the town, as always the Cubs did fantastic.
See what you think!
I think it’s fair to say our lockdown already this year in Cubs has been nothing less than extraordinary! Especially with the amazing support we have had from the adults of all our Cubs.
This year we kicked our activities into over drive, no more of this lock down pausing and waiting to get on with things… have a look at some of the fantastic things these Cubs have done last month!
With the Artist badge we kicked off with some very creative salt dough creations!
And as is tradition for many, we too cooked some pancakes…
As you can see, these look flipping brilliant!
We learnt about our Solar System, the planets, satellites, comets, asteroids, stars and much more! Although many of the Cubs had a good understanding of some parts of space, so we got to expand our learning about the Mars Mission with SpaceX and why we have observatories in specific locations. Finishing off the night the Cubs took to the screen and helped to create another picture, again their talents never cease to amaze us!
Well Done Cubs!
Each Cub had looked after a pet and learnt how to care for a new animal.
One of the Cubs even managed to convince her dad (with mums help) to get a hamster which was swiftly named ‘Sparkles’! Over the course of the two months, 2 lovely dogs also became family members to two other Cub households.
The virtual meetings and activities finished off with a brain storm for getting a pet Crocodile! And creation of posters promoting Animal Safety… I think you’ll agree with us, they did a fantastic job!
