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!

no halloween party

The Halloween Party has been cancelled as it clashes with the school’s party, so THERE IS NO CUBS MEETING on 20 October. See you all at 6.30pm on 3 November for the joint Bonfire Night. John
