The Family Fun Evening went well; the kids had a good time on the climbing walls and the blind trail, and everyone got to mingle and eat and catch up on news. Then we had a campfire with songs, and finally, the announcements, reports, and getting the formalities of an AGM out of the way.

Today we had the Cubs bring in their hobbies and collections, and talk to us about them, for their Hobbies and Collectors badges.
These are nice badges - the children can earn recognition for something they do themselves in their own time, so it’s a quick and easy badge for them as they’ve already done the work - and, therefore, we get to give out a lot of badges in one session, to the delight of all

We’re back!
The first meeting went well, welcoming two new Cubs, and one Beaver who is swimming up to join the Cubs.
Accounts of the Beaver and Scout meetings aren’t available as I go to press, but we took the Cubs outside (while the weather’s still good and before the evenings get dark) for a run around on Cranham Common for a wide game, which seemed to go down well!

Well, we’re all getting ready to start again next Wednesday, the 10th of September - the usual time and place!
The family fun day at the County Scouting Centre has been postponed to the 24th, so go to the hall as usual.
Some more leaders have joined us in the Cub section, so we are looking forward to a good year!
