Essential Feature
3rd Warrington East,
1st Culcheth Scout
Group
We’ve had a fantastic weekend with the
Beavers on a sleepover and the Cubs out
on visits.
Nights Away, for the Beavers on their first
sleepover it is Stage 1 and for a lot of
them, Stage 2, (the second night away).
Beaver Sleepover:
Saturday morning saw the Beavers loaded
with rucksacks or small cases, sleeping
bags and karrimats as they arrived at the
Scout Centre for a sleep-over. With tents
allocated, sleeping bags in place let the
fun begin with a game or two. A pic-nic
lunch, portrait of the mermaid coloured
and it was time for fun in the playground
across the road.
Count down has already started to the
next sleepover!
Play over, foot wear changed and into cars
to go to Lowton to watch the pantomime,
“Aladdin and the Mermaid”. The Cub
Scouts joined us for a superb afternoon’s
entertainment. Back at the scout centre
for tea, games and crafts based on the
seaside. Story time about a Beaver family
and one to explain why I’m called Akela
to answer the Beaver’s question and it
was soon time for sleeping bags.
The sleepover finished mid-morning
with very happy Beavers taking home
the lighthouse they’d made and a badge,
40
Cub Visit:
Sunday afternoon saw the Cubs visiting
the Manchester Jewish Museum for a
hands on and very informative afternoon
about Judaism. Cubs were split into two
groups for some of the activities. They
enjoyed trying some of the garments
on whilst a member of each team was
dressed as a Rabbi by the other members
of the team. Lots of fun whilst finding
out more about the religion.
The following week saw the Cubs using
their new found knowledge preparing a
display on Judaism to go into Culcheth
Library. The meeting ended with each
Cub being presented
with the World
Faith and the
Faith Partnership
