Learning & Growing Cubs The cubs have been navigating, they have been learning compass points and using maps. They have also been learning about money skills and budgeting, and have been for a visit to the local fire station where they got to look in and around the fire station, learnt all about the equipment and even got to use the hose. The cubs participated in parliament week, where they had discussions and debates and then voted on our new young leader’s name, who is now known as ‘Raksha’. The cubs had a great time at Leisure World, with 100 cubs from Colchester, using the flumes and wave machine, and the cubs went with another two packs from Colchester on a Guy Fawkes themed winter camp, where they made bridges, guys for the fire, cracked codes, made rockets and had a camp fire and ate toffee apples. Scouts The scouts have been on a night hike from Little Horkesley to Great Horkesley, completed an escape room blindfold puzzle, learnt morse code and the phonetic alphabet. 37
