Today, several cubs working on stage 2 and 3 Bushcarft and Camping, gathered at the hall to do some campfire cooking.

The Cubs built the fire, got it burning and cooked sausages with veg in the hot coals. They started baked apples but not all were cooked prior to leaving the hall.

 

It provided the leaders with a chance to trial a way to provide a chance to do some of the hands-on aspects of the program that we cannot always cover during a regular cub meeting time-slot.

 

Under the previous award scheme (badge work

) program, Golden Grove Cub Section had ways of doing sleep overs to help do aspects of the different Boomerang Levels that were not always able to be done during a regular meeting. Cubs generally attended the bronze, silver, or gold level sleepovers, subject to which level they were at.

 

However, as the Award scheme has changed, it has meant that some aspects of the program delivery have also changed.

 

As a part of the Plan > Do > Review process, Saturday’s activity was a learning experience for all, especially the leaders. It will allow us to look at different ways to provide opportunities for the award scheme to be offered to the members of Golden Grove Cub Section.

 

Overall, it provided a valuable learning opportunity to all who attended the afternoon, even the adults who attended.
