Cub Timetable

Unfortunately Carlisle Youth Zone has postponed our climbing sessions which were scheduled for February 29th and March 7th.  These will be inserted into a revised timetable as soon as we have new dates.

Instead of this the new activities will be:

Feb. 29th - Make it Good.  (Creative Challenge)

Mar. 7th - My Hobby - a chance to share a hooby with your six.  (Hobbies Badge)

Both evenings will take place at the Scout Hut as normal.

Winter Camp 2012

5th February 2012

Dear Parents,

Winter Camp 2012 (Cubs)

It may be February but our camping and outdoor activities are now just around the corner. As tradition now dictates our winter camp at Ratlingate between Friday 24th February (7.30pm start) and Sunday 26th February (depart at 10.30am) will start the Camping Season.

The cost for this camp will be £30.

This year our theme is “Where on earth are we!” On the Friday night we’ll be playing wide games outside, on the Saturday the Cubs will be walking off site and geo-caching. We’ll also be orienteering on the site to familiarise the Cubs with the concept before we take on some different courses across the summer months.

The Cubs will be sleeping inside in the dormitories whilst the Scouts camp outside (Saturday only.)

The Winter Camp has become very popular and I can truly say that there’s never a dull moment! Normal kit applies but we ask that all parents send their child with warm clothing that is suitable for the time of year. Wellies are essential at Ratlingate in the winter.

Can we also ask that each child brings a traybake or similar to share over the weekend along with a £1 coin and a couple of t-towels. So often we seem to run out of these essential items and children seem only to be able to find a hand-towel when requested.

As it is half term next week please can you send an email to cubs@13thcarlisle.org marked Winter Camp – Yes Please as the header by Saturday February 18th. The medical and permission form should be returned on February 22nd along with a cheque for £30.

Yours sincerely,

David Hodgkiss (Akela)

District CycloX - Saturday 4th February

This Saturday is the 2012 Reivers District CycloX and the Cubs have entered four teams.  The event will start racing at 9.45am but the Cubs who are taking part should aim to arrive between 9.15am and 9.30am.  Please be aware that the lane to Ratlingate will be very busy and you should allow plenty of time.

Old clothes, waterproofs, snack and drink are advised.  A cycle helmet and necker are obligatory, the rule is always the same, no helmet - no ride.  Team members who cycle around even on the grass without a helmet will disqualify their team.

Everyone competing must fill in the form below and take it with them.  Please print this out and take it and give it to Mike Neile who is in charge on Saturday.  

I'm afraid that I won't be there on Saturday but I wish everyone taking part the best of luck.
