Cub Camp - 17/09/2005 : 1st Wick : Cubs

In September over twenty Cubs camped at Olrig Campsite. The theme for the weekend was Harry Potter with the Cubs being split into groups such as Ravenclaw and Gryfindor. For most of the Cubs this was there first ever experience of camping and all enjoyed it despite the amount of rain we had. This was also the first camp the Beaver leader Elaine had run and organised after attending a night’s away course, designed to help leaders provide quality camping experiences for youngsters. One of the highlights of the weekend was the campfire where several songs were sung and most people took part in the skits. The Cubs are hoping for a camp next year.
