Cub Updates - July 2011

Water Night
The final Cubs of the term will take place at Ratlingate on Wednesday 20th July.  This is our Water night where everyone gets a good old soaking.  Please come along at 6.30pm with your Super Soaker ready to do battle.  Come in old clothes you don't mind getting wet and bring a towel too!

Summer Sleepover
This year we are having a one night Summer sleepover on Saturday 13th August.  This will take place in the Scout Hut and will cost £0 - yes that's right - nothing! All you will need to bring along are a sleeping bag, mat to lie on and your chip money - as we'll be visiting the Chip Shop that evening.  We will start at 4.00pm and end at 9.30am the next morning.
This will be a technology camp.  We'll provide a Wii, Playstation and X-box - all you need to bring are the games and your DS or PSP too.  We'll also be playing some games on the field and end with a film before bedtime.
The letter for this will be available in the next few days.  If you want to then we'll need to know numbers before Thursday 11th August.  Details of who to inform will be on the letter.

London Trip 2012
Thanks to all of the parents who came along last night.  To recap please can you pay £10 in every first week of a month towards the cost of the camp.  This makes it easy to track income and is less painful on your pocket!  We still need parents who can help organise fund raising opportunities - please don't be shy!
As I mentioned we are currently organising the adults and waiting for confirmation that some are available; at present the eight adults who hope to attend are myself, Ben Hodgkiss, Michael Neile, Katherine Neile, Don McCutcheon (DC), Gavin Clarkson, Mick Goodman and Nigel Moore.

Camps in 2011-2012
Next year we have overnight camps planned for November (Ratlingate 1 night), January (Scout Hut 1 night), February (Ratlingate 2 nights), April (Ratlingate 2 nights) and June (London 2 nights.) There will also be a summer camp to somewhere nearby along with the District Cub Camp in September 2012.

Jamboree
Ben Goodman, Harry Wharam, Ben Hodgkiss and myself will all be away at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden over the next three weeks.  We'll be posting a twitter feed @cumbriagme14. Keep an eye on it and we'll keep you updated as to what we are doing.  It might inspire some of our present Cubs to attend in 2015 when the Jamboree is held in Japan.

Whatever you are doing though have agreat summer and Cubs will be back on Wednesday 7th September.
