July 2002

This was a very quiet month, because of the new programme starting soon all badge work was suspended and a lot of games were played.

Naturally as the Summer camp at Parkend drew near we had an increase in numbers with five young people joining us. They were invested and given an evening acting as tent pegs as they were shown a tent and informed of the method of putting it up.

Knots were also 'taught' as they might be needed on camp.

Alison started to stay on and take an interest in helping to run the Pack, this after her camping experience at Eastwinds. 

Cubs who had been on their holidays were expected to bring back a stick of rock for Akela or sweeties for everybody, this has proved very popular.

We had a Bar-B-Q to raise some funds for a project that Akela had planned for camp, but apart from Sam, Alex and Mike it was really poorly supported, some TV event about an eviction seemed to be happening at the same time, some people had strange priorities!
