Snaefell Letterbox Hike (21 September 2003)
Cubs: Warwick S, Alec C, Jessica A, Alice A, Duncan C, Callum W, Juan C, John S, Phil B, Tom B. Leaders/Helpers: Stuart Bridson, Nick Kinrade, Mark Bradley, Laurie Sanderson.

This was our first attempt at the Letterbox Trail. Our version of 'Letterboxing' involved hiking from the Tholt-y-Will/Sheepfold side up to the Summit and down to the Black Hut. The objective was to find as many ink stamps, depicting the areas, as possible. These stamps are hidden in ‘Letterboxes’, hence the name. There are many of these in the hills of the Island and it has always been a popular Scouting activity.

The Cubs met at Brown's Cafe at 10am and were transported up to our starting point - the Bungalow. Firstly we managed to get the Sheepfold (well the stamp was missing actually) and also the Pack Horse Bridge. We then climbed Snaefel, obtaining a few letterboxes around there before sheltering from the awful weather in the cafe whilst eating lunch. Unfortunately the rain and fog persisted and the hike had to be abandoned with us dropping down to the Bungalow and returning home. We will return...

Sponsored Cycle Ride - Mighty Oak Appeal (30 October 2003)

During the summer Cubs from both Packs along with the Beavers cycled up and down the Douglas promenade cycleway to earn money for the Manx Might Oak Appeal. We raised £1000 and got a mention in the Courier (see below) and on the Might Oak website.

Viking's Christmas Play (15 December 2003)

After a term's planning by the leaders and practice of parts on the majority of pack meetings, we put the play on in the Laxey School Sports Hall. The play was written by Stuart & Debbie with help from Mark and Nick and is based on a Manx theme, incorporating our annual Christmas Shoebox Appeal. View the script Word Iconor the characters Word Icon to see who played which part. The props were made by the Cubs as part of one of their badges with help from the leaders.
