District Cub Hike Competition

Filed under: 1st Bowdens, District News — Webmaster @ 6:34 pm

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…)
