Cubs Bonfire Night Adventure

Cub Scouts from Diamond and Wolf Pack took part in a night expedition and sleepover last month on Bonfire Night. Starting at the Scout Hut, we set off on a hike on the many footpaths around Bishop's Waltham, with our torches lighting the way on the dark night. Fortunately the weather stayed fine and during our hike we had a great view of the bright fireworks being let off across Bishop's Waltham and the surrounding areas. After the recent rain the paths were very muddy but it was a mild evening and it didn't seem very long before we all finished the hike by returning across The Moors to the Scout Hut.

Inside the warm Scout Hut supper was waiting for us and after changing out of our muddy clothes and boots we ate our hot dogs and drank our hot drinks. We had all brought our favourite board games and so we went upstairs in the Scout Hut and spent several hours playing games with each other, ranging from chess, Frustration, Giant Jeng
a to a complex game called Heroscape. Eventually, with midnight approaching, the leaders made the Cubs get ready for bed and we settled down on the Scout Hut floor after an exciting story from Chil.

The night went quickly and early the next morning we rose and had a filling breakfast of cereals and bacon butties before some more games upstairs until it was time to go home after the exciting night's adventure.
