Last Night McDowall Bunya Cubs along with our District attended Operation Little Hawk. It was awesome. There were 13 sixes running around Taralba Park, trying there hand at all different bases. McDB Leaders ran two bases, apple bobbing and paper tower building. The cubs with the aid of Scouts had to navigate their way from base to base. It was a great night something a little bit different for the cubs. I hope all the cubs had a great night. Thanks to Kaa and fellow Cub and Scout Leaders for making the night a big success.

Today our cubs spent the day working on some badge work towards Our Heritage Badge, visiting “The Wheel House” Historical Centre at BP Park – Samford. We spent some time navigating our way around BP Park using our compass and codes skills. Spent a couple of hours playing ball games and having lots of fun on the “slippery pig” trying to maintain balance whilst being hit with a pillow by fellow cubs. To top the day off the last activity was Abseiling. The Cubs braved the challenge and tackled their fears to either climb the Abseil tower in the first place or take the leap and walk off a perfectly good tower, backwards, putting trust in the fabulous Abseil Team and themselves. A big thank you to our District Cub Scout Leader – Nyakim for organising the day. I know that all cubs and leaders thoroughly enjoyed the day.

We had perfect weather for our tent city sleepover, The cubs set-up our new tents and we tried them out (wasn’t to cold). For the weekend we learnt about fire, tent and bush safety and completed some of our level 1 camping and cooking badge work. We had an excellent movie under the stars and a full moon. We woke for an early morning bush walk followed by a play in the local park. For our newest chum it was a first time sleeping in a tent and having a fire.

Excellent weekend – Adheek.
