Cubs cook their way to Badge

02/02/12
Cubs were cooking up a treat last night as they chopped, mashed, boiled and fried their way to their Chef badge. Three bases cooked up Spag Bol, Chilli Con Carne and a more traditional Sausage, mash and fried tomatoes, with a lovely piece of french toast on the side. Some even had second helpings, so it must have been good. They will be cooking again next week as we are having an early Pancake Night, which will also be part of their badge work. Yummy!

Cubs Pirate Camp

Well, what a fantastic weekend we just had.  Sun soaked, wet and wild.

Cannons, flags and chocolate treasure chests were the order of the day.  Rig the main sail me hearties!

The weekend started with a Hike on Friday evening as we enjoyed the sunset on sultry country lanes and waved at the trains as we crossed the lines.

Gilberdyke was invaded by friendly Pirates who were cheered on by rum soaked land lubbers at the local ale house.

Sunny saturday was started with the Captain and First Mate supervising the Crew cooking breakfast over a raging fire, then flogging the scurvy stowaways into washing up.

Those who survived forty lashes were forced into flag making and face painting, followed by making the Pirates’ deadly daggers and jet black hats.

All pirates love water and ours were no exception, so it was all hands on deck for fun in the sun and a good soaking in the new pools bought specially for the camp.

A jolly old battle ensued with water filled cannon balls exploding everywhere.  Then it was time to dress up, something the Leaders always look forward to.

No evening is complete without a drunken sing song, so we loaded up on stiff blackcurrant and orange, set fire to a nearby ship and scared the native population with our raucous chanting.  The compulsory game that cannot be named completed our outdoor activities for the day and we went below decks to watch our fellow pirates adventures on dvd.
