Activities and Investitures
We’ve had a regular 15 Cubs and 18 Beavers coming to Friday night meetings since the start of September 2024. This term they’ve been doing their Space Activity and Astronomer badges, alongside themed activities on Diwali, Remembrance and St Andrew’s Day.
Scout Troop
A number of the Cubs are already 10 or will turn 10 in the New Year, and we are looking at September 2025 as a potential date for restarting the 9th Scout Troop, with this group of Cubs moving up at that point.
Duke of Edinburgh Link
Chris Small is in touch with the Duke of Edinburgh lead at GWC about some S5s and S6s potentially volunteering to support Ben and Jamie at Friday night meetings as part of the DoE programme. Hopefully this could go ahead in early 2025.
