Start of the Summer Term 2025
The Summer term, always the busiest one with lots of outdoor activities, is already up and running and with a very warm welcome to new Cubs Howie, Laith, Theo, Titi and Zac. Our first weekend back saw 20 Cubs take part in our first ever Sleepover in the Cub Hut and then a District St George's event at Tolmers Campsite. The Sleepover featured some games, a local area walk with chip shop survey, craftwork, film show and quiz whilst the following morning at Tolmers featured a wide range of activities including pedal karting, human Hungry Hippos, slack lines and tunnelling. This "big weekend" gave our Cubs a taster of what to expect at Camp later on in the term, they were all brilliant, and thank you to everyone who helped out at it.

Summer term meetings
As mentioned above, the summer term always has a particular focus on outdoors activities and so far sunny weather every Thursday evening has helped with this. On 1st May we had a very active evening at Firs Farm which featured some team games plus a couple of wide games - balls from the buckets and the playing card challenge - to give the Cubs a taster of the wide games which are typically played at Camp. A wide game is a game played over a large area. The following Thursday saw a complete change of focus with the Cubs and many parents enjoying a visit to the Jain Temple near Potters Bar. Always a fantastic place to go to, the combination of the beautiful building and surroundings and the very interesting information provided by our generous host Prabodh will hopefully inspire many Cubs to complete their World Faiths Badge. Let's hope for more sunny weather in the weeks ahead or at least Thursdays!

Enfield District 5-a-side Tournament
Delighted to report that our Cubs won the Enfield District 5-a-side tournament which was held at the home of Enfield Town Football Club on Saturday 10th May, Some parents may wonder why football is quite a regular activity in our Cub Pack - the answer is that it always has been. A long time ago (before my time as Akela!) there were only about three youth football teams in the area so a few people played for them and everyone else played Cub football. Times have moved on since then and now there are many more teams around but  Cub football remains available at our Pack to give everyone a chance to be part of a team and to count towards some of the core badges. We entered two teams in the Enfield Tournament and our B Team improved and grew stronger as the afternoon went on whilst our A Team went unbeaten throughout. Couldn't be more proud of everyone who took part.
