Well done to our 11 Cubs who went to the Island Camp last weekend. We won the Best Pack award for the first time since 2003. See here for more information and pictures.

With Camping season coming up, you may
wish to know that Tesco have
sleeping
bags and
roll
mats
and
rucksacks in stock
at very reasonable prices for first time campers. I think
the sleeping bags are £9, the mats £2 and the
rucksacks £11.

Congratulations
to Tabaqui, who got married this weekend. 6 of
Cubs formed a Guard of Honour outside Rushen Church
and even found out that Tabaqui is also the same
person as Claire. Claire
Hammill may now be Claire Cain but remains as Tabaqui
for us....

The Executive Committee exists to support
the Scout Leaders in 1st Laxey, handle the accounts,
and make major decisions.
We currently have a vacancy for the Cubs Parent
Representative, as Debbie Hinks will be standing down
at the AGM in July due to her son moving on from Cubs.
If you feel you would be willing to take over from
Debbie please contact me.
The role is to support me running the Cub Section,
liasing between the Group and other Cub Parents,
attending Exec Meetings (usually only 4 per year)
and helping out with any other work of the Exec such
as fundraising or adult recruitment. The role is
thus not a particular time consuming one but is rewarding.
Please have a chat to either myself or Debbie. |

Congratulations
to all Cubs and Beavers who attended St George's Day. In
the Centenary year of Scouting on the Isle of Man, 1st
Laxey won the new award for the best turned out. Thank
you to the 4 Beavers and the majority of the Cub Pack that
turned out in full smart uniform.

Summer Event
Reports.

ready for St George's Day next weekend. Click here to
see where it should be worn on the uniform. |
