Young Boys' Camp 2001

Every year we have a special camp for the new boys in the Pack, who've not camped with us before.

The camp lasts for a weekend and is called the YBC. That means "the Young Boys' Camp".

Morning Inspection? This year the YBC was in April, and 9 boys came.

We slept in the Hut for the first night, then we put up tents and slept in tents for the second night.

Here are some photos of what we did.
At the YBC, the boys get introduced to all the things which are different about camping with Cubs and Scouts. That includes having to do your share of the chores!

Like peeling the potatoes for dinner . . .

Saturday night's dinner we cooked on fires.

Have you noticed how muddy it was!

On Sunday we built a bridge. It needs everybody to work together to build a bridge.

Lunch outside It had been raining all week, so we stayed outdoors as much as we could.
Wellies are always essential on Cub Camps - particularly if there's a stream to play in!

But maybe wellies should have holes in the toes, so they drain better!

One boot lost . . . Send in the rescuers . . . Two boots lost!
