The competition was held at the 8th Hornchurch HQ. The weather was fine although we had erected a party tent in case of rain.
The first Session the under 9 ¼ age group not to many Cubs turned up. We normally get the most Cubs in this session so it is an hour longer than the afternoon session. As we only had 24 Cubs we ended up playing games with the Cubs till the parents came to collect them.
After lunch (chips and bits for the leaders) we had a larger influx of Cubs over 9 ¼. In total we had 67 Cubs attend our biggest number yet.
Thanks to all the Leaders that helped Richard, John, Tom, George, Roger, Sasha, Jack, Mick, Chris as without you we could not run events where pack leaders do not need to attend.

The District Cubs Archery Competition was held at 2nd Squirrels Heath HQ, Arnaud Lodge on the 9th October. It was split into 3 age groups under 9 under 10 and under 11. There were 3 trophies in each age group for the cubs to win and also keep.
We have never had so many Cubs attend the Archery before. 78 Cubs attended.
The weather was very warm and sunny. While not completing they spent time outside either watching a video or playing on the grass.
Due to the large numbers we had to extend the times for the under 10’s. But with What’s app available to some of the groups the parents were informed.
All the Cubs enjoyed the day. Drinks crisps and sweets were given to the Cubs.
I would also like to thank the leaders that stayed to help run the event. John Reed, Richard Thorn, John Dodd, Allison Chung, Chris Plume, Jemma Styles, Sarah Matthews, Glen Tarten-Hughes, Amelia Lavender and any one I have missed out. Without your help we could not put on such a good event.

Due to the good quality of the building we decided to give a second prize. 1st prize was a £40 Lego kit and second was a £20 Lego kit.
The winner was Luke from 8th Hornchurch Jupiter and second place went to Jack from 1st Squirrels Heath. Well done to both Cubs and have fun with your new kits.

ADC Cubs (Events)

2nd Cranham cubs have been extremely busy since lockdown and between them have earned 125 badges including 88 activity badges, 7 great indoors, and the completion of 13 challenge badges meaning 2 of our cubs got their chief scout silvers and we’ve not finished yet. We had an isolation international space camp to coincide with the recent space rocket launch to the ISS. We started with a zoom call (22 of us including 4 leaders and 1 young leader) we played a game and taught the cubs a knot, it was mayhem but great fun. Sleepover was Friday night but some cubs slept over on Saturday too. We gave them lots of missions to complete over the weekend and most completed them all. The cubs continue with our support to achieve their badges that we would normally be doing on a pack night, they are working really hard and we are extremely proud of them and thank the parents for their support and help.
