New year new patrols! We will run some team building exercises and games for Scouts to get to know their patrols better. Patrol Leaders will also run a forum with their patrols to gather feedback on our programme.

This week the Troop will split in halves. One group will enjoy an orienteering challenge in town whilst the other group will learn how to build a fire and some simple knife skills (cutting and whittling) – experienced Scouts may also try out wood carving.

This week is very similar to last week’s meeting, with the groups swapped.

Patrols will walk from the 26th HQ along the river to Jaws (Fish and Chip shop) in Milton.
*Parents are more than welcome to join us, and pick-up will be in Milton if possible. A minibus will go back to the 26th HQ at the end of hike.

This evening we will be meeting at the hut and learning about the festival of Diwali.

This will help the Cubs work towards their World Challenge Badge, World Faiths activity badge and International activity badge.

Similar to the last meeting, with the groups swapped:
3 patrols will try out a range of crafts this evening, including paracord bracelets/lanyards/woggles, pyrography, glass/metal engraving and/or candle making.
The remaining 3 patrols will learn a bit about how to be confident in decisions around money. We will cover what makes a strong password, how cryptocurrency works and good budgeting skills.
