"HAPPY NEW YEAR"
The magic of a cub pack is about recycling. Youngsters don't change much from generation to generation. Consequently what amused and occupied your ancestors will do the same again for you and for your descendants. Around late December Akela will look back on the packs programme from 2010, review what went well, recycling and reusing whatever our 2014 crop of Cubs can make use of. 2013 was a very good with many excellent activities, 2014 already has a number of exciting events planned; free pantomime, mince pie rally, winter camp, family camp, kubadoo, and much more. We remain the largest and most active local cub pack, this is due to the commitment show by our leadership team; cubs, parents and helpers. Please do your best to support the pack in the coming year ensure 2014 is as good as it gets.
