Work has continued through the summer to complete the jobs at Fleckney scout HQ. Unfortunatly there was a very poor turn out of parents at the work weekend but the leaders and district team got stuck in with the help of a couple of parents. We have nearly finished the outside of the building and work is continuing inside with a new floor covering being fitted to the entrance, toilets and kitchen over the next couple of days. Once this is done then the kitchen will be tiled ready for the new kitchen to be installed. All that will remain then is the main hall needs painting. (more…)

District Cub Hike Competition
Today we held the 2nd Market Harborough Cub Hike, well 2nd for me as ADC Cubs. Kibworth Cubs hosted the event this time and 11 teams took part in the event. The hike this year was a circular course starting and finishing at the Kibworth HQ and all teams had to complete a challenge just before they finished the course. The cubs all seemed to enjoy themselves as did the adults. After completing the event every one enjoyed a well earned drink and hotdog. Thank you to everyone who turned up to take part and to everyone who helped with this event without you I couldn’t have put this event together. (more…)
