Cubs Camp 2017

Last weekend Joshua and Brandon went on their annual Cubs camping weekend and appeared to have an absolutely fantastic time. They have both been on camps together before but this was their first camp since Brandon moved up to Cubs. So after dropping the boys off at Belchamps on Friday night, me and Tina had a very quiet and relaxed weekend with just Holly to look after.

On Friday night the Cubs had to set-up their tents and then they all tucked in to a hot dog and settled around a camp fire. Not really sure what else they got up to over the weekend as it is difficult to get too much information out of the boys. We managed to get a few picture updates (below) which were posted on the Facebook site. Other than that all we know is that Saturday was mostly water related activities and games and Sunday was a woodland hike and picnic.

They both came back extremely tired having been up at around 5:30am both days and by the sounds of it not going to bed until 10:30pm. Although in reality with 4-5 of them sharing a tent I suspect that the actual lights out/sleep time would have been much later.

Joshua having fun getting wet firing water bombs.

Some domestics as the Cubs all have to do their own dishes after meal times (need to start this at home!).

Some paddling pool fun to cool off in the heat.

Food time inside the hut.

Joshua getting smoked out as they do some outdoor backwards cooking.

Not really sure what Brandon and the other Cubs are doing here.

But water is leaking out everywhere.

Brandon in the green shirt supporting some guttering as the team try to transport some water to a bowl.

I think they failed the task so the leader pours the water over Brandon.

Finally the team look organised and it might actually work.
