Cubs awarded the Chief Scout’s Silver Award

Many congratulations to Hollins Green Cubs who have gained the highest award in Cubs – the Chief Scout’s Silver Award. A lot of hard work and commitment was put in to achieving all their challenge badges and many activity badges and this was rewarded by receiving their certificate from the County Commissioner for Cubs.

The thirty boys and girls who make up the Cubs pack have enjoyed a hectic year celebrating 100 years of Scouting.

Following a day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach with the North West Region, they enjoyed a memorable weekend’s camping and games at Capesthorne Hall with over a thousand Cubs from all over Cheshire. The climbing walls of the North West Face in Warrington and paddling on kayaks at Grappenhall provided further exciting challenges as did their weekend’s camp at Waddecar in June where they tried shooting, indoor bouldering, raft building and canoeing. Cubs also enjoyed Linnet Clough Camp near Stockport where they braved the Cavebus and The Cube, which wasn’t easy! Three teams took part in the District Survival competition in October where they engaged their fire-lighting, cooking and shelter building skills.

The year continues with a Cub 100 campfire in November and finishes with a very special birthday celebration at LA Bowl, The Jungle and Jump Nation when Cubs will renew their promise.

A  huge thanks go to all the volunteer leaders and young leaders and especially to Anja who has helped the Cubs pack grow from strength to strength. Anja steps down as Cub Leader and is wished all the best in her new adventures.
