Happy New Year Cubs and families

Happy New Year!

It's a quiet, chilly morning here in Akela's Den, on this first day of 2015.

As I reflect on the first half of our Scouting Year, I am struck by how far we've all come, and how much fun it's been.

Our Pack has a new look this year, with over a dozen newly invested Cubs. We will continue to grow in the coming weeks as we welcome a few more new Cubs to the 32nd Ottawa Scouting family.

So far we have:
  • Learned some of the history of the Scouting Movement and Lord Baden Powell
  • Discovered secret languages, Morse Code, Braille, Semaphore, and Sign Language 
  • Tested our outdoor camp skills (and rain defence!)
  • Expanded our First Aid and Home Safety skills
  • We've hiked and played, orienteering and navigating our way through our community
  • Cubs used their ingenuity and engineering ability to design and build gravity defying structures
  • Talent Night showcased some amazing performances
  • And the Cubs begun earning and collecting badges. Oh the badges!
Still to come this year we have:
  • Cub Kars and Rally Night
  • Winter Camp (2 nights at Camp Opemikon)
  • Skating and Sledding
  • Linking with our Beaver and Scout friends
  • Spring Camp (2 nights at Camp Awakamenj mino)
  • Hiking, Biking, Hill-Climbing...
