Pack Holiday

The best thing about Cub Scouting to most Cubs is going on Pack Holiday. The leaders are specially trained before they are allowed to take on the responsibility to look after the Cub Scouts with the same level of care as if they were their own large family or youngsters. We normally take the Cubs away at the end of July or in August. On Cub Camp the Cubs can do activities that are not possible at a Pack Meeting, some of these activities include:

 

v    Hiking

v    Climbing

v    Canoeing

v    Swimming

v    Wide Games

v    Go On Outings

v    Campfire Cooking
