Danielle Billington Cub Leader 07985755426 cubs@larkfield-scouts.org Do you like having fun? Larkfield cubs is the place for fun and adventure, with action packed programmes, district events and an active group, there is no time to be bored! I run a pack of around 30 with a high amount of girls who love mucking in. I have a supportive team of adult helpers and parents who like to join in. We attend District events, such as Swimming gala and District football and also our own Group activities for example bag packing and joint wide game evenings. Our cubs are always working towards badges and I encourage badge work at home too. Many of my cubs achieve Silver Scout Award, the highest award in cubs. The Silver Scout Award involves gaining 6 challenge badges which does take a long time but is usually gained by the time a cub reaches 10 years of age. We have 7 challenge badges and 33 activity badges, which keep us busy and evenings are based around completing the requirements. This means we can get messy in the kitchen, put patrol tents up in the field, play wide games or even a fish and chip hike. We take an active part in the community, cubs attend Larkfield Holy Trinity family services once a month and support fetes and fairs in the local area. We have visited local churches, the fire station and have visits from the Police and PCSO. Cub camps are also a highlight and very popular among them, at 8 years old this can be the first time in a tent. We can never predict the weather but we can guarantee they will have the time of their lives. At Quest 05 the cubs got the chance to do archery, canoeing, apache driving, clay oven cooking, climbing and much more. Larkfield Scout Group also has an annual family camp at the district camp site, which can get parents to camp too. Danielle Billington (Dani) |
