Badge Camp – January 2013
For those of you who attended badge camp in January, we thought that you might like to see the videos that we took from inside the Pack Holiday Centre. There are three videos, one each for Friday night, Saturday and then Sunday morning.
See if you can spot your own Cub or Beaver in the clips!
Friday night
Beaver sleepover
Saturday
Beavers leave, Cubs arrive and start their activities.
Sunday morning

Highlights…
I particularly like these stills where GSL Janice Butterworth realises that she’s being filmed!

Cubs programme online!
I’ve updated our programme with what we plan to do over the next few weeks until July 12th when we will finish. There is a county activity at Ashworth Valley the weekend of the 19th for silver award holders which runs all weekend.
Any Friday night with a (A) requires additional adult help. If you can help please let me know either in person, email, text or phone. Some events require a CRB check to be completed.

Cubs Road Safety Badge
We’ve been working towards our road safety badge in Cubs. On Friday 2nd November we did the “classroom work” and on Friday 9th November we went on a road safety walk.
If “your Cub” wasn’t with us on Friday 2nd November when we completed the first part of the badge work he/she may like to do this “homework” which will enable them to catch up and receive the badge when the other Cubs get theirs.
To earn the badge, Cubs need to be familiar with how to behave in a car, how to cross the road safely (using the Green Cross Code and crossing in sensible places). As well as this they need to be familiar with road signs, we covered part of this last week, but we did it again on our walk.
To help your Cub earn his/her badge, it would be great if you could print out the attached documents and ask your cub to:
· Read the Green Cross Code and check that they know it DOWNLOAD – GreenCrossCode
· Know the four crossing types DOWNLOAD – Crossing types
· Draw a map of their “safe walking route to school” to bring into Cubs. Alternatively, If they go in a car, draw a map from the car park to the school avoiding obvious hazards if this is appropriate. DOWNLOAD – My safe route to school
· Complete the Road Safety Quiz and hand it in to me or Matt (Akela). DOWNLOAD – RoadsafetyQuiz-NoAnswers
