Fitness Challenge

We have a challenge aimed at Cubs, but no reason why the Scouts couldn’t join in too.

The challenge will run for two weeks and during that time you need to improve your results.

You can download the form Cub Scout Fitness Challange (PDF) or Cub Scout Fitness Challange (Word) but if you don’t have a printer, no problem, you can write everything down on paper and send a picture.

The downloaded chart has links you can click to find out how to complete each challenge.

If you think it’s too easy, or too hard, the targets can be adjusted, but please check with a leader first.

Everyone who completes the challenge will get a badge, or Scouts a woggle.

Nearly forgot, please feel free to post pictures of your child doing the challange on our Facebook Group.

Any questions, just ask a leader.

Hop Tu Naa Night

1^st Marown Cub Scouts

Next week’s meeting will be Hop-Tu-Naa themed, so we will devote the night to:

Fancy Dress – it would be great if your child can come in fancy dress! (Optional)

Halloween themed games

Pumpkin Carving (can any parents help us with this please?)

Ducking Apples – please send an alternative if your child doesn’t like apples

The following week will be half term, so no meeting, but please make a note that Sunday 8^th November is Remembrance Sunday and the Cubs will lay a wreath at Marown Church Memorial – details, time etc. at our meeting on 6^th November.

On 13^th November, we visit the Peel Swimming Pool to work on the Swimmer Badge, and to pick our team for the Supersplash on Saturday 14^th, at Ramsey Pool.

Can I suggest you arrange car sharing between you so that not everybody needs to take their car.

Wet n Wild

Programme 21.08.2020

This week we are going ‘Wet n Wild’ for the last of our Summer Activity nights.

The meeting will be at Braddan Park at the same location as the grass sledging was held.

Cubs and Scouts should bring a washing up liquid bottle, or water pistol /super soaker and come dressed to get wet.

We will be supplying either burgers or hot dogs and juice, but if any children have special dietary requirements, they can bring their own food/crisps etc.

The evening will start at 6:30 and will go ahead regardless of weather, we will finish when everyone has had enough sliding/squirting, or no later than 8:00pm – whichever comes first.

There will be a gazebo for changing, so we suggest they bring a change of clothing.

There will be an opportunity for the Scouts to finish their ‘Survival Skills’ Badge on Friday/Saturday 4/5th September at MYC. The Scouts will plan their own menu and cook from scratch, light fires, build a shelter and sleep overnight in it, with Bernie and Paul staying nearby to supervise.

More info to follow, but can we ask that the Scouts use their WhatsApp Group to plan their menu, and arrange who is buying what please.

All the leaders hope the Cubs and Scouts have enjoyed the activities provided over the past 12 months, and are looking forward to bringing another year of fun and engaging programmes.

Steam Train Trip

Programme 14.08.2020

This week, two activities have been arranged; one of the Cubs and another for the Scouts – however, the children may attend both events if they wish.

For the train trip we meet in uniform at 9:40 at Douglas Railway Station, bringing a packed lunch and a jacket in case of bad weather. We return to Douglas at 5:00pm. Parents and accompanied siblings are welcome to join us on the basis that they are separate for Scout insurance reasons.

Parents will need to purchase a child ‘Explorer Pass’ at £8.50 each to enable us to get off at Castletown, then get back on later to continue to Port Erin.

We meet at 6:30 for the cycle ride to Peel, returning by around 8:30. Again Parents are welcome to join us if they wish.

For those children unable to make a return ride on their bikes, arrangements can be made to leave them in Peel Scout HQ for later collection. Please bring appropriate clothing, a drink and a snack.

Any child who would like to borrow a bike, please contact Bernard on 313612 in advance.

Apemann

Programme 07.08.2020

This week Cubs and Scouts have a session at ApeMann Adventure Playground, South Barrule Plantation.

The session is from 6:30 – 8:15 and the cost will be £10 for the low course, £15 for the high course (10 and over)

Can everyone bring insect repellent and a drink please.

Next Week

Next week we have planned a trip on the Steam Train to Port Erin and back for the Cubs and a cycle ride to Peel and back (for those who can make it). This will count towards the Cyclist Badge.

Scouts are welcome to join the Cubs on the train trip, and Cubs can join the Cycle ride if they wish. Cubs need to only cycle to Peel to gain their badge, where Scouts will need to do the return trip.

The cost of the train trip will be £8.50 for children and £17 for adults. A packed lunch will be required.

We meet at 9:45 at Douglas station, returning on the 5:00pm service. For the cycle ride we start from Marown School at 6:30, returning at around 8:30pm.

Bikes are available so long as we know in advance, please speak to Bernard 07624313612.
