District Cubs Soapbox Derby


Second year running 1st Corbets Tey Cubs wins the overall trophy.

A good turnout of cubs for this year’s event. It was a nice sunny day and all the Cubs had a good time. Fifteen teams took part in the figure of 8, oval, obstacle, team challenge and endurance race.

There were a few crashes during the day (only a few plasters used) and just a few loose wheel nuts.

We also had an individual scooter challenge time trial. Congratulations to Finley from 2nd Squirrels Heath Cub pack who took home the trophy. The best decorated cart was also won by 2nd Squirrels Heath Cubs. Well done to them.

Beaver Sleepover 2018


District Beaver Sleepover 2018


This year 106 excited beavers and 40 leaders from 13 colonies across the District descended on Belchamps Scout Campsite for our annual sleepover. The circus themed event was held over 2 nights in order to accommodate all the participants, 7 colonies attended on Friday night and 6 on Saturday night.

Friday evening’s activities began with costume designing and badge-making before heading off to the campfire circle for a good old sing-song. After a quick supper, the Beavers were eager to get to bed and prepare for an exciting day ahead.

After breakfast, the Beavers dressed in their circus inspired t-shirts and teamed up with their fellow circus performers. Faces were decorated, tattoos proudly displayed and muscles flexed, we were ready to show off our prowess in the ring!

Throughout the day the Beavers trained to be clowns, practiced their circus skills including plate spinning, juggling and stilt-walking. They mastered the art of tightrope-walking and demonstrated great teamwork, balance and acrobatics. The day was rounded off by a masterclass in balloon-modelling.

After a quick respite, we were ready for a repeat performance and the second batch of beavers arrived to do it all over again. On Sunday we were joined by a special guest who entertained both beavers and leaders throughout the day with magic and silly antics.

The Beavers had an excellent time and went home happy and exhausted!
