At our most recent Cubs meeting, we held an engaging and practical cycle maintenance session. Cubs were encouraged to bring their bikes along and take part in learning key skills to help them look after their own equipment.

Throughout the evening, they explored basic bike checks, troubleshooting common issues, and how to carry out simple repairs. One of the main highlights was learning how to fix a puncture—an essential and empowering skill for any young cyclist.

The session was a fantastic opportunity for Cubs to build confidence, develop independence, and work together in a supportive environment. We’re incredibly proud of how well they all got involved.

This weekend our Cubs headed off for their Back to Basics Camp, where they spent time learning brilliant outdoor skills, building confidence and having loads of fun in the forest. Across the weekend they learnt how to light fires safely, cooked their own pitta pizzas, built shelters using natural materials and then put them to the test with buckets of water to see how well they held up! Of course, no camp would be complete without some tasty treats, so the Cubs toasted s’mores over the fire and even had a go at making fire-baked bread. The adventure was topped off with a night-time treasure hunt and plenty of free play in the forest, giving everyone the chance to explore, work together and enjoy being outdoors. A fantastic weekend of fun, friendship and proper back-to-basics Scouting! Click here to view all the photos.
