Our annual Cub Camp during the half term holiday included Archery, Circus Skills, Tracking, Team and Individual Games and Challenges, with many badges being gained. We had an entertaining camp fire on the last night and Beavers joined us on Saturday. During the closing ceremony three Beavers 'swam up' to Cubs, four Cubs were invested and one Cub 'moved on' to Scouts. Thank you to everyone who came along to help out - we all had a brilliant week.
