Kirkhill Cub Scouts
New Term
Elements 2012 Camp Badge
This term will be very busy; for the first part, we will be focus on camp prep, leading up to our very exciting weekend regional camp where twenty-four of our cubs will join around 900 scouting folk on the banks of Loch Ness, near Dores.
For the second part of the term, we’re hoping to get out and about, and will round off the term with our annual group sausage sizzle at Abriachan – we’ll keep our fingers crossed for some fine weather this year.
Camp Parents’ Meeting There will be a parents’ meeting on Tuesday 15th May, from 7:30pm, to go through camp info. and give you all the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Reelig Walk & Activities We’ll need the help of at least four parents for this outing. Please get in touch if you are able to help:kirkhill.cubs@hotmail.co.uk or speak to a leader.
Activity Badges There are several activity badges that can be gained by cubs relating to hobbies etc that they may be involved in. As we are unable to conduct such activities during cub sessions, we would encourage cubs to complete these in their own time. The following are some examples of those that may be gained if all the badge requirements can be met: Swimming, Martial Arts, Equestrian Activity, Musician and Ice Skater.
If interested, please let any of the leaders know and we will provide you with a self certification sheet that outlines all the badge requirementat=12,67,127″>Please refer to the cub handbook or website for details of any further activity badges that may btained.
Adult Helpers Required – please!
Our flourishing cub-scout pack would not be able to run without a strong leadership team, including regular stand-ins from our beaver leader Mairi, and backup from parents, friends and committee. Also important to the running of the group is our young leader and Aird scout, Ellie, whose help we greatly appreciate. Thanks.
Our cub role now stands at 29. As this will be busy term, with a few outings planned, we really need help from parents. We’d like help from at least one parent for most sessions held at the hall, this term. Our outdoor sessions will require more volunteers. Once again, in most cases, it is felt that the best method for ensuring cover for each evening is to nominate a parent/s for each session. Please see the term calendar for information. If you are unable to cover the evening you have been nominated for, please arrange cover from/swap with another parent.
Some of our sessions will be held away from the hall – these will require the adult helpers to travel to the venue. As many of you will lift share, I would like to ask that at least four parents stay behind to help on these evenings; please let us know, before the event, if you are able to help. See below for contact details. (See above for helpers re. Reelig Walk)
