Dads and Cubs Summer Camp

9th – 11th July 2010

An annual event and great fun for both Dads and Cubs. This year it will be held at Gradbach Scout Camp, rather than Barnswood (as originally stated). A map and directions can be downloaded from the documents section of our website. The camp will run from 7.30pm on Friday until approximately 3.00pm on Sunday. Once the camp has finished we would ask parents to come to the HQ and help put the equipment away.

It is a requirement that ALL Cubs attending a camp bring a completed and signed copy of the permission to camp form with them as any Cub who does not have a form cannot attend the camp. We would also request that all adults complete the adult health form and also bring this to camp. Although this is not a mandatory requirement, we would prefer to have this information, just in case it is required. Both forms can be downloaded from the documents section of this website.

As usual, we provide all the general equipment needed for the Cubs to camp (other than personal kit) but suggest that Dads may wish to bring their own tent and folding chair. If Dads do not have a tent of their own we have a number of tents which Dads may borrow, but please let us know before 7.00pm on Thursday 8th … otherwise you may end up sharing!

Finally, here you can download a copy of the suggested kit list for the weekend. It can be helpful if Cubs help pack their own bags so that they are able to find things once they get to camp.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Baghera on 07929 264 148 any evening (after 7.00pm) and leave a message.

District Trip to Cosford Air Musuem

Bowden Pack were amongst a number of Cub Scouts from the High Peak who recently enjoyed a visit to Cosford Air Museum in the West Midlands.

The museum houses 70 aircraft and is home to War Planes, Missiles, Transport & Training and Research & Development collections.

The National Cold War Exhibition with its interactive kiosks and hotspots gave Cubs a chance to see what life was like behind the Iron Curtain.

Dads and Cubs Summer Camp

9th – 11th July 2010

This is an annual event and great fun for both Dads and Cubs.

Dads/Male Guardians who wish to attend this camp will need to be CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked.

Could Dads and Cubs who are interested in attending please collect a slip from one of the leaders ASAP, So that we can provide you with a CRB form to complete, as these take time to be returned to us by the bureau.

Please note that if you have have a CRB check from anywhere else, you will still need to have one completed through us, The Scout Association.
