Dear Parents/Guardians, October
16, 2013
We had an excellent overnight camp this weekend. I don’t think the weather could have been
better if we custom ordered it. Our
theme for camp was “Hunters and Gatherers” and the cubs had to hunt for and
gather their lunch on Saturday. Some of
the food was growing wild and other food had been planted by the leaders to
ensure that there would be food to find.
Some of the wild finds included fresh apples, soybeans gleaned from a
farmer’s field, worms, and puffballs.
All wild finds were cleared/identified by a leader before the cubs got
to try them, so everyone was safe!
In other exciting news, 1st Palmerston Cubs
now have a blog! Check it out at www.1stpalmerstoncubs.blogspot.ca . I will be
updating the background yet to make it more exciting (plain white bores me) and
will post pictures, videos, and notes about things the cubs are up to. I also hope to post the weekly Cub Capers
there. Currently there are some pictures
and a video from camp up on the blog.
Apple day is this weekend. Apple polishing is Friday night from
7:30pm-8:30pm. Apple day begins at 9:30am on Saturday. Both days meet at the Scout Hall (where we
have our regular meetings). Please wear
your uniform both days!
Next week (October
23) we will be doing a pack popcorn campaign. We will meet in Harriston in the L&M parking lot at 7pm, break into groups, and
go door-to-door selling popcorn. We are
inviting the Palmerston Scouts to join us.
We do need parent volunteers
to help out at this event. If you are
willing/able to help out, please speak to a leader. You must have completed your Child and Youth
Safety training before you are able to work with the Cubs. If you need assistance getting your Cub to
and from Harriston, please speak to a leader.
Popcorn forms
are due on the 23rd. All
orders must be prepaid.
