No cubs meeting next week.

Having taken a straw poll of the number of Cubs attending the Spooky Disco next week we have decided to cancel the Cubs meeting.

There will be no meeting on Thursday 25th October.

The next meeting will be after half term on Thursday 8th November.

Conkers - last reminder.

This is the last reminder for the District Conkers Competition on Sunday.

A reminder of the details for those that are going:

Don't Forget

Please check in with Mandy when you arrive and she will help you to register if you need it.
Please arrive  in plenty of time to sign up before 1pm. Doors open at 12:30pm.

Don't forget your £1 entry fee.
Take plenty of conkers (predrilled!) and shoe laces (the professional conker player's string).
Cubs are welcome to bring a packed lunch, drinks and sweets will be available fro the tuck shop.

I still have spare conkers if anyone needs any more.

Have fun.

Spooky disco clash.

Thank you to everyone who let me know in advance that their Cub couldn't make it last night, it really helps with planning the team events.

On that note there is the Spooky Disco at Westdene School on the 25th October. Can you let me know by return email if your Cub is not coming to the meeting that night and we can decide whether it is worth running.

Hopefully everyone survived the Conkers competition last night and well done to Green Six.

I can still take names for the District competition on 21st October of anyone else wants to go.

Thanks,

Tim

Transferring Cub badges

I have spoken to Nigel (The Grand Poobah of the 31st Brighton) about badges for the cub uniforms.

Three badges need to be transferred from the old Beaver Uniform to their new Cub Jumper.

Those badges are:

The Membership Award

The combined County/District Badge

The Group Name Tape

The position of the badges is illustrated at http://scouts.org.uk/documents/Memberresources/Uniform_diagrams/Cub-Scout-uniform.pdf

Happy sewing,

Tim

Earlier finish to Cubs

Now that we have had a few weeks for things to settle down we can see that we mostly have a younger group of Cubs at the 31st. As a result I am going to change the finish time to 8pm so that they don't have such a late finish on a school night.

The meeting will now run from 6:45pm to 8pm every Thursday.

The older Cubs were really helpful last night and did a great job supporting the Cubs who have just swum up from Beavers.

Hopefully everyone is having a lot of fun but if you do get any feedback from the Cubs then let me know because it would be really helpful as we build a program of activities for the coming year.

Please get in contact if there is anything you want to discuss.

Tim

District Conker Competition

Brighton and Hove District Conker Competition 2012

Date: Sunday 21^st October 2012

Time: 1-4pm

Where:  15^th Scout Hall, Manor Road, Brighton, BN2 5EA

Rules
Each Pack may enter as many cubs as they like. The competition will be run on an individual basis, so the more cubs we enter, the better chance we have! The cost for the competition is £1.00 per child which needs to be taken on the day.

Cubs will play each other in 3 minute games with judges deciding win, lose or draw. Players receive points for each draw (1) and win (3). At the end of the afternoon, the Cub with the highest score wins the trophy for their group.

Arrangements
One of our Leaders will be there on the day to look after the Cubs from the 31^st. 

Please can Cubs arrive from 12.30 at 15^th Scout Hall, Manor Road, Brighton, BN2 5EA to register, ready for a prompt 1pm start. Children are welcome to bring a packed lunch, drinks will be available.

There will be a tuck shop open for Cubs to buy a few sweets in the break half way through.

Please email me at 31stcubs@gmail.com  to let me know if your Cub will be part of the team. I need to know by Sunday 7^th to get numbers back to the organisers.

Any questions then please ask.

Tim.
