Indoor Pioneering

We challenged 2nd Exeter to an indoor pioneering competition. We were in teams, and each team had to build a bridge across the Scout Hut, from one table to another. We tested the bridges to find the winner by seeing which one could carry the heaviest weight.

One of the teams from 2nd Exeter won. Well done guys.

Summer Cubs

We carried on meeting during the summer, but we didn't wear uniform, we stayed later because we didn't have school next day, and we tried to be outside as much as we could.

Keep Fit with the Marines

Keep that back straight! At the beginning of the Spring Term an Instructor from the Royal Marines came to show us some exercises to keep fit.

We did some exercises at the start of every Meeting during the Term, to see if we were getting fitter!
