34th Coventry Cubs

It has been a very busy year with numbers increasing inthe pack so we have between 18 and 24 children attending each week during schoolterm time. We are looking at having awaiting list for new members, which we have never had before.

We are always very active in District events andcompetitions for the Cubs. Last year wewon both CUSO, a competition held for Cubs and run by the Scout Section,(through good teamwork) and the Road Safety Quiz. We also take part in the chess day, swimminggala, sports day and District water weekend camp. Two Cubs and one Beaver are also in the gangshow at the Belgrade Theatre and will be performing in March.

This year we are giving the children the opportunity togo on 3 camps through the Leaders giving up their time to plan and run extraweekends away. We are still short ofLeaders but manage very well through effective teamwork, currently having some very supportive parents who will help us when they are asked.

Some of the Cubs and Leaders attend Church Paradewhenever possible around other commitments. They enjoyed having the Carol Service at St Mary’s, which enabled some ofthem to take part in the service by reading out parts of the story about thejourney toBethlehem.

In Cubs we aim to teach the children various skillswhilst having fun whatever their abilities. We feel proud to watch them develop over their time with us and go on toScouts with confidence and an expanding knowledge.

What is Cub Scouting?
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.

Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.
