Each year the cubs camp at Thriftwood just before
then end of the school summer holidays. For the last few years
some of the scouts have joined them too.
The archery
field.
For most of the time, the cubs and scouts do separate activities.
Robin
Hood?.
One of the first activities
undertaken by the cubs this year was archery.
Traditional archery targets are placed in a roped off
field and the cubs can have a contest to see who is
the best shot.
For this activity the Thriftwood staff are used.
Archery is one of the few activities that we are not able to run
ourselves.
The
instructors oversee the proceedings..
Laser
guns.
Its an Akalas dream. He actually gets to shoot the
cubs. Laser guns are one of the newest activities that is
now available at Thiftwood. Two teams of cubs run around the
forest shooting each other with laser pistols and hiding behind
bushes and fences.
But the leaders get bigger and better
guns.
Akela seemed to like the shooting of cubs so much that he had
to purchase a big water gun. But it was no match for an entire
pack of excitable cubs.
