Hello world!

A Cub Scout Leader from my District is looking for some new ideas for
her forthcoming Cub Camp (and I am for my Pack Holiday).

If anyone has had any interesting weekends with the Cubs, let us know!
Please continue this thread as I reckon there are many people who
would also be interested!

Come on now - I have to Erica the "power of the net"!!

All the best

Simon

Just to let you know about a camp we ran a couple of years back which proved
quite popular with the boys and the leaders. It was a camp with a theme based on
the TV programme "The Crystal Maze".

Each day was themed around a "zone" such as medieval, future, ocean etc. Each
zone contained physical, mental , creative and mystery challenges (camp
programme activities based on the zones theme).

Points were awarded to the teams in the form of gold credits (painted card
squares) which were posted into a sealed team box. Point deductions for poor
daily inspection results, bad behaviour, etc, were made by the award of silver
credits.

On the last day of camp the team points were calculated (gold minus silver) and
the camp points prize awarded.

One main advantage of this programme was that you didn't have to think of three
or four days worth of activities based around the same theme.

Phil.

 We just completed a Polar Bear Day at camp for our pack. Our
activities included:

  1. Games (like Bigfoot and a animal guessing game)
  2. Fire building. Using dryer lint and Hot Sparks.
  3. Lunch. Roosting Hot Dogs over a nice big campfire.
  4. Morse code fun. I built a simple buzzer type telegraph
     set and put about 60 feet of wire between the stations.
     Cubs had to act out an animal with the other team sending
     their guess over in Morse code. It was a great no 
     winner/loser type game.
  5. Rope making. Cubs always love it!
  6. Project time. We made kites from grocery sacks.

 It all started at 10:00 am and was over by 4:00 pm. It was
 a blast!
