IT’S OFFICIAL CENTRAL GOSFORTH CUBS ARE SHAPED BY THE YOUTH
Over the last 18 months the Cub leaders have been getting the Cubs and Young leaders involved in planning and running nights and deciding on activities and trips out. This is called youthshaped scouting, there are three levels of award available Bronze, Silver and Gold. as you can see we were presented with Gold by a member of the District Commissioners team.
Montagu scouts had fun building morse code oscillators and sending messages to each other. Not a smartphone in sight!
Andrew Shipton, Vicar of All Saints was kind enough to help the pack work toward their world challenge badge on a snowy Friday night. He gained the Cubs full attention telling the pack a bible story, playing hymns sung by monks and giving us a brief history of All Saints Church its benefactor Mr Cochran, how tragedy befell his two young sons. Andrew also told us of the early life of Archbishop Robert Runcie who was curate at All Saints in 1950. Did you know he was awarded the Military cross whilst serving as a tank commander in world war two?
Beavers, cubs, scouts, parents and leaders had at trip to watch the Newcastle Eagles play the Manchester Giants in their new stadium. The result did not go as hoped (Eagles 71 – 89 Giants) but everyone had a good time.
The Cubs attended Eldon square bowling for our “jambowlree” session. A young leader suggested we took part in the scout association’s worldwide event that encourages groups to bowl between November 2018 and May 2019.
Well done to all who attended this years Christmas fayre, The Scouts chocolate bran tub proved popular as did the ginger bread stall ran by Beavers and Cubs, together with the bird boxes sold our Group raised approximately £180
