This evening, the Cub Unit went for a walk-through Carisbrooke Park. It was a chance to get out of the hall, and to add some km to the Walkabout Badge. It was a great night to get out and about, to do something different, ensuring that the Cubs are getting a varied program.
Overall, a great chance to get out and do something different.
Today, we had one team entered in the NavFest:Beach. It was also our 1st activity away from the hall for the new scouting year.
While we had two teams last year in NavFest:Beach, this year we only had enough for one team.
The team covered 7.5km during the event and did very well for themselves. The improvements included distances covered, as well as the number of checkpoints they were able to get stamped (therefore increasing their points they were able to use for the over all total (therefore increasing their points they were able to use for the total). They finished very respectfully in the middle of the rankings.
Overall, a very enjoyable activity and the leaders are, at least, looking forward to the NavFest event to be held in September – it will have a playground theme! We are bound to be at that event when it occurs.
