things, which were rice inside balloons and with a glow stick hanging
off and a piece of string. We threw them up and tried to catch them, it
was really fun. It was a great Precuboree Camp and I am looking forward
to the real Cuboree." Spencer |

National Tree Day - Sunday, 1st August
With Lions Club of Geelong Breakfast... we planted around 500
plants!!!! Thanks to all the cubs and families that joined us. Many of the cubs that attended have now successfully met the requirements of the Scout Environment Week badge by attending the Environment night we held a few weeks ago and helping out today. A few of the cubs have also successfully completed their Landcare badge after putting in 8 hours on community projects. |
"At the hall, most of the Cubs went to this most
amazing sleepover. I went too, all of the Cubs that were there made there
own pizzas, the pizzas were incredibly tasty! After the pizzas we set up
our tents and Connor and I went through three tents, but then we finally
figured out there was only 1 option, which was tent number four. We set
our gear up and then we did a few safety games for our boomerang badges.
After than we had gotten cosey up in our tents and watched Alvin and the
Chipmunks! After that Connor and I, and all the others went to bed.
The next morning we had some cereal for a few minutes and then we packed all
our stuff for home time. There was still some time left so we played the
Jungle book game which has all of the characters in it - it was Jungle book
bingo. It was not long until we had to say goodbye so I played games until
my dad picked me up, I was super muddy from playing in the grass."

'World Great Race' – Sunday 18th July
"My favourite activity was at Waurn Ponds shopping centre. We had to go to Donut King where they gave us a free donut as well as our task. The task was to find shops which started with each letter of the alphabet.
We learnt how to read a bus timetable (after we missed the bus!!)
We learnt how many shops there are in Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre.
We looked for shops in Highton Shopping Village that answered the descriptions we were given
and used their names to answer a clue -it spelt “Happy”.
We used the Miki touch on and touch off (10 times!!)" Rohan
Despite the weather we
successfully travelled around the world by bus and visited such
countries as France, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, China and Italy to name just a
few. In France, we sampled donuts... in Zimbabwe we trained as African
Hunters and in China we rebuilt the great wall and practised using
chopsticks! |
Tree Day, Limeburners Point, Geelong - Saturday 26th June

"On Saturday, 26th of June 1st
Belmont
cubs group met at Limeburners Point to help the East Geelong Rotary club
plant
trees. It was wet but we still had fun!" Matthew With Geelong East Rotary Club to plant trees indigenous to the area. What a morning, we had five very brave
cubs turn up to plant some trees, to help put stakes and cover around
them to protect them from wayward motorists and rabbits.
Rohan, Kye, Jude, Matthew and Spencer
all left the comfort of their beds and warm homes to come down to a
FREEZING Limeburners Point. Wind a Blowing and the rain came down and
still they soldiered on.
We were rewarded for a job well done
with hot sausages and a drink each. To top the day off the last hour
(we were there for 4hrs) we planted trees in a special spot we now call
1st Belmont Cubs Revegetation garden. We are going to have to make our
own sign for that now so that when any of you go down to Limeburners
Point you will know where we planted our very own area.
Well done guys and a big thankyou to
you all and to Bourkeys frontyard, the East Geelong Rotary club for
organising this tree planting day.

"On Saturday some cubs went to Eumerella. We did compass work, we also made our own little camp with a fire, we played a game and ate. We had fun! The best thing was making a fire. Josh, Chil and I made a ladder of wood in a tree." KyeThe day was a great success, the cubs had a lot of fun learning first aid, making their own small campsites, trying to light fires (supervised of course!), orienteering, racing through the obstacle course and constructing from wood and rope.
