20th Southgate Scout Group
CUB ACTIVITIES THIS WEEK:
Thursday 15th October - Special guest meeting 2: Visit from Enfield Chace Dog Training Club, 7:00pm until 8:30pm at the Cub Hut. The Cubs will learn how to care for dogs (the principles apply to all kinds of pets) and how to keep safe around dogs, e.g. in the park. There will be an opportunity for the Cubs to interact with the dogs in a controlled manner if they want to. The dogs will be 2 small poodles and a larger greyhound which rate in the top 10 hypoallergenic dogs although no dog is truly hypoallergenic.
Saturday 17th October - Foot Golf at Clifford Road, Barnet, EN5 5NY, 2:00pm until 4:30pm (approx). Please vote HERE by the end of Tuesday if your Cub wants to take part - all the Cubs are welcome to come along.
Our friendly Cub Pack, which meets on Thursdays from 7:00pm until 8:30pm, is very active with a strong focus on teamwork and everyone trying their best.
Every Cub is encouraged to work towards their Chief Scout's Silver Award and there are numerous activity badges which are also completed.
We do lots of outdoors activities including night hikes, a local history quiz, wide games. open fire cooking and of course camping. Football is an activity which is regularly available to our Cubs.
We take part in all the District activities available including a chess competition, annual sports day, swimming gala and 5-a-side football competition, a quiz, and “Cub Trek” which is an 8km orienteering challenge around the local countryside.
Charity work is an important part of being a Cub Scout and also counts towards the Chief Scout's Silver Award, and since 2016 we have raised over £8,000 for a range of different charities.
We hope that all Cubs enjoy the wide range of activities which are available, growing in confidence, developing existing talents and also learning new skills.
