A contingent of eight Cubs
from Batchworth were part of a group Fifty Six Cubs from across the District that joined together for a camp at Chalfont Heights Scout Camp that took place between the 2nd and 4th July.
Although our other Cubs would like to have attended the camp was limited to Cubs aged 9 1/2 and older. Over the weekend the Cubs enjoyed many activities such as Rifle Shooting, Climbing, Archery and T-shirt making just to name a few, ending with the District tug-o-war competition. The camp presented the opportunity for the Cubs to mix with their peers and for the Cub Leaders and helpers across the District to get to know one another better and share ideas. The weather was brilliant although presented a challenge pegging the tents to rock hard ground. I'd like to say a big thank you to Jamie Mitchell, one of our Group's Assistant Scout Leaders, for helping me with the Cubs over the weekend and who was without doubt the most popular Leader with the Children across the District. - Brian Hansford
