William Tell tryouts

The Cubs practice their archery skills with the Warringah Archers at Cromer. One of the constant favourite activities for the Cubs. Some of them are scarily accurate.

James Craig Tall Ships

A big group of Cubs and Scouts spent a night aboard the James Craig Tall Ship.  Some of the things we did were sleep in hammocks under the deck, swab the deck, hoist a sail, learn about navigation, pulleys and knots.  We saw the captain’s cabin and saloon too.

 

Scouts and Cubs camp at JOTA/JOTI

Jamboree On The Air was held at Narrabeen Lakes over the weekend where the Scouts got to talk on amateur radio and over the Internet with other scouts from around the world as well as get out on the lake in canoes and play other games round camp.  Cubs joined in on Saturday afternoon with a few staying the night and getting to watch The Hobbit.

Cub Fun Day

The Cubs travelled to Luna Park. Turned out to be an excellent day. They completed part of their Travellers Badge, all of the ‘Thrilling Rides’ badge (which has yet to be approved).

Find it, Log it

The Cubs had a great day at Manly Dam adding to their navigation skills and learning about Geocaching as part of the Scout Year of Geocaching.
It was an excellent day, particularly for mid August, you needed hats and sunscreen (almost).

After finding 3 geocaches, still keen to find more!

Water over the waterfall as well!

The Cubs added about 6 caches to their list for The Great Scouts Geocaching Competition!

Deep Pass Canyons and Caves

A group of Scouts along with a couple of younger Cubs spent the weekend camping at Deep Pass caving, canyoning and scrambling up the pagodas.  After a short hike in, we set up camp, told stories and  sang around the campfire at night.  Shimmying through caves and then getting wet climbing up through the canyons with a spectacular jump down a waterfall into the chilly  water to get the adrenaline going.

Narrabeen Campfire

1st Narrabeen is a new Cub Pack starting out with just a few new Cubs. So the Pack decided to hold a joint meeting to end the term. The joined Packs made up nearly 40 Cubs which made for a fantastic Scout Campfire. They also made damper and cooked on the coals.
Songs, snags, damper and a new Cub invested. An excellent way to end a great term!
