Cubs – Wildcats (Thursdays) Report …..We were aliens at the Wargrave festival and with the other sections we won the parade trophy. We all were awarded our bicyclist badge.

Subject to regular attendance on Monday evenings, joining-in camps and completing a large array of tasks to a satisfactory standard, every Scout has an equal opportunity to attain the highest award in Scouting. In April Scouts enjoyed a patrol sewing evening and listened to hobby presentations. Lucy, Luke and Jake represented 1st Wargrave at the Loddon District Field Archery, Target Archery & Rifle Shooting Competition achieving 6th place. We also welcomed 4 new Scouts from Cubs – Isla, Megan and Ellis from Puma’s and Louis from Wildcats. We finished the Spring term somehow managing to squeeze a record 28 Scouts into the hut!…
