YORKSHIRE RALLY 2024

Busy night at cubs, remembering St George, couple of games, renewing our Wolf Cub promise and an investiture. Well done! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚜️🐺🐾

1. St George’s Day falls on 23rd April every year. This is the date when Saint George died. It is believed he died on 23rd April in the year 303 AD.
2. Even though he is the patron saint of England, he wasn’t actually born here. He was born in a place called Cappadocia. In the modern day, that would be in Turkey!
3. St George isn’t just the Patron Saint of England! He is the Patron Saint of farmers, soldiers, archers and even… scouts!
4. Legend has it that George slayed a dragon. The story says that he rode into a place called Silene and saved the city from the scary dragon. He also saved a Princess! Sadly this story was actually made up. It is believed that it was made up after George even existed!
5. Historians believe that George was never a knight in shining armour…They believe he was a Roman soldier!

St George’s Day - 23rd April 2024. The children learnt about St George and as you can see the children had great fun dressing up as characters from the story. They then made their own shield and sword just in case they come across any dragons of their own.

Reduce, reuse and recycle: The “three Rs” to help the planet. A busy night at Otters learning all about recycling. ♻️

Well done to this lovely otter, receiving her golden paw tonight! The highest award you can get in otters! 👏👏👏

Great night, seniors training the newbies!

3rd/4th Derbyshire Scouts were delighted to have been granted £500 towards camping equipment from Stronger Starts through the Tesco blue token scheme. They have been presented with a big cheque by the Tesco Community Champions! Huge thanks to all who contributed!

A bit of pioneering practice around some camping furniture ideas, ran out of time to finish it properly unfortunately!

otters learning all about healthy eating. they named lots of different fruits and vegetables. They all did very well, but found naming a swede and pomegranate a little tricky. They all tired a number of different yummy fruits. Surprisingly, the lemon went down very well. 🍇 🍈 🍉 🍎 🍌

SHROVE TUESDAY
Shrove Tuesday is a Christian festival celebrated in many countries across the globe. It falls on the Tuesday before the beginning of Lent – a period of around six weeks leading up to Easter. During Lent, Christians give up luxuries to remember when Jesus went into the desert for 40 days to fast and pray.
The exact date of Shrove Tuesday changes from year to year. But one thing stays the same — it’s always 47 days before Easter Sunday.
The name comes from the old word ‘shriving’, which means to listen to someone’s sins and forgive them. In Anglo-Saxon England, Christians would go to church on Shrove Tuesday to confess their sins and clean their soul.
Traditionally during Lent, Christians would give up rich, tasty foods such as butter, eggs, sugar and fat (some Christians continue to do so, in fact). Shrove Tuesday was the last chance to eat them – and what better way to do so than with a delicious pancake!

PANCAKE DAY (tomorrow) 🥞
Another fun night at Cubs.
These cubs tried to cook pancakes on tins - they think they might need more practice

Chinese New Year 🐉

Busy night making chinese paper dragons and a Chinese food taster session!! Everyone mucked in washing up, drying the pots putting them away and cleaning down the tables!

What a great camp! Crazy 88, pubquiz, winterproject awards and much more. All paired with loads of fun! Thank you everyone for coming 🪢

The Otters had a fun night learning about the Chinese New Year celebrations. They used chopsticks to pick up a fortune cookie and looked at the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. If you ask them they will tell you which animal relates to their year of birth. They then all took it in turn to be a dragon and chased me round the church. 🐉

The black heron rovers are hosting the Rover Conference this year. They’re 75 people strong this camp. Yesterday was a great first evening and they’ll just continue on with the fun!

Cubs working hard on their Law and Jungle Book. First aid with all the pack. Learning how to put a sling on..we will be practicing this again! A good night enjoyed by all Cubs and leaders.

It’s great when leaders share what they’ve done on nights with their cubs and scouts as others can share the fun and magpie 🙌🏼 1st/2nd Derbyshire say thank you 6th/15th Lancashire

Tonight we had a ‘Taskmaster’ challenge to complete which was great fun! Would you have made it to number 19?
