District Handyman Badge

Pinhoe Cubs took part in a Handyman Badge course organised by Exeter District.

We entered one team of six Cubs.

Where's that nail coming out?
Hammering! The course was held over two Saturdays in the Spring Term.

Other Packs in Exeter also entered teams, and all together there were about 40 Cubs working for the Handyman Badge.
The course was held at the new District Headquarters, Little Silver, in Marsh Barton.

During the course all the Cubs learnt about how to use tools safely, and then made two projects. One was a personal project they could take home afterwards.
Does that look right to you?
Pinhoe's box And then, in teams, the Cubs made letterboxes that the District is going to use for the Scouts Christmas Post.

The letterboxes were made on the first Saturday, and then painted on the second Saturday.
The six Cubs from Pinhoe made two letterboxes between them. The Pinhoe team
Presentation At the end of the second Saturday the District Commissioner came to present all the participants with their Handyman Badges. And the District got some bright, new letterboxes for Christmas!
