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.

The District has launched a Recruit a Friend Badge to help recruit young people.
These badges have been sent out to each group so we have enough for each person on the census.
To earn this badge the young person needs to recruit a friend and buddy them until they are invested.
Additionally if a young person wants to use to recruit an adult who takes out an appointment and is invested this is valid too. The badge is there to aid recruitment so do use it if helpful.
If any more are required then they can be obtained from the District badge Shop at no charge.
