Every week I send a WhatsApp message to parents, reminding them about the meeting that night.
Then I get a number of messages saying their Cub isn’t coming!
It’s so frustrating when we’ve spent the time planning and printing stuff out.
I get that there’s illness etc; and we usually know about school events in advance, but really?
Not much we can do about it; just wish we’d have more advance notice.
In this Wolf Safety in Numbers den meeting plan, Scouts learn important safety skills while having fun. They will watch the Protect Yourself Rules video, practice the Run, Shout, and Tell Relay, and play the Buddy Check Game to reinforce the buddy system. At the playground, they will review safety rules and practice using equipment…
Every Cubs planning meeting feels very different. And not just because those attending has changed. I had thought after a while of being a Leader there would be more consistency. But no.
We had the latest one tonight, and though parts were as to be expected, it meandered in unexpected ways.
The Term we planned is both simultaneously what I was expecting and yet somehow isn’t at all.

Webelos plan and cook a balanced meal, engage in stretching and aerobic exercises, and perform personal fitness routines.

It’s a shame, and the Cubs are disappointed. But, as the parents have rightly said, I need to put myself first at this time. We can camp again next year.
It’s been tough enough concentrating on work!
So, if you’ve wondered where I’ve been; that’s it.
Amy wrote me and asked me if I would post a Cub Scout song book she made to fill a ticket for her Woodbadge course. My answer was yes! These songs are easy to learn and great for getting everyone involved. The layout is simple, making it easy to print and use. It can be…
Tonight at Cubs was, I hope, Egg-cellent.
Our Young People:
- made Chocolate Nests
- designed an Easter Egg
- made an Easter Basket
- had an Egg Hunt around the Hut grounds (it was getting dark & they probably didn’t find them all)
I started the night by having an Investiture Ceremony for one of my new Leadership Team. The first I had performed for a Leader, so I modelled it on my own Investiture & got some of the Cubs to help.
