At the County Roadshows, we asked Leaders which badge it is they would like to complete on this day. The DIY badge came out as the winner!

Cubs are invited to join us for the day to learn new skills, make new friends with other Cubs from across the County and complete their DIY badge! They will also take home an awesome creation that they have made during the day!

Cubs will need to wear old clothes as it may get messy! They’ll also need to bring a packed lunch. Leaders will be asked to help out on the activity bases (no DIY experience needed!) and adult volunteers are welcome to come and help out on the day.

Bookings

Please let us know how many Cubs from your pack will be attending by completing this online form: https://forms.office.com/r/u59zLM7HMX

If you wish to add more Cubs on after your initial booking, then please complete the form again, just entering your additional numbers.

Payments

All payments should be made by Thursday 13th April as per the details on the booking form and your confirmation email. 

What to bring

Everyone should come in their activity uniform, including neckers and be wearing appropriate footwear for walking on grass and in woods. They will get messy so old clothes are encouraged for the activities.

Each Cub will need their own rucksack that they can carry around the bases with them, that contains:

Waterproofs
Packed lunch
Refillable water bottle
Sun hat and sun cream (if good weather!)

Adults in packs should bring their own appropriate first aid kit for going around the activity bases and deal with any minor injuries themselves. We will have additional first aid cover on site for anything more serious.

Car Parking

Your Pack will be assigned an arrival and departure time to help spread out the cars entering and exiting the site. This information will be shared closer to the time, to allow us to evenly spread out those that have booked on. 

To help lower the number of cars on site, please encourage your parents/carers to arrange car sharing between themselves. 

Activities

Each Pack should split their Cubs into small groups of 6 – 8, and assign a DBS-ed adult to each of these Groups to go around the activity bases with them.

Each base will have Leaders there to explain the activity and set the Cubs off, with more than one small Group able to complete the activity at once.

If a base is looking a bit full, please move on to another one and come back to it. 

Activity bases will include:

– How to use and take care of tools safely

– How to work safely on your projects

– Different types of wood and what they are best used for

– Make something useful to take home (or two!)
