There was a pirate themed
weekend of fun and frolics at Cricket Camp for the pack this March.
It started with exploring the site with an X marks the spot treasure
map aiming to find the most valuable coin in the treasure chest. The
shipmates had a session in the smugglers cave but alas found no
booty. Then there was a spot of crab fishing from the pontoon along
the Hamble, successfully catching 12 but all were released back into
the river. A Cubs favourite activity was to set up a fire and
toasting marshmallows. After capturing the Jolly Roger wide game in
the dark there was a pirate themed film. After Scouts Own and
inspection on Sunday morning we all had a go at archery.
During the
weekend we made pirate boats to race, pirate hats, balloon swords and
completed a horrible history pirate jigsaw.
The final event was a
chance to walk the plank over the shark invested water and throwing
cannonball water bombs. Two Cubs (Jamie King and Harry Blondel) were
awarded their Chief Scout Silver Award. Great fun was had by all.
