Cub Camp 17th - 18th October 09.
After the meeting we watched a movie about scouting and Baden Powel then
after we went to get our stuff and started to set up our beds. We had to rest for a
little until we were called to eat, we ate chicken, chips and salad. After
everybody finished eating Skip made the camp fire, we sang songs and then
Skip told us a funny story, we ate fruit and then we were sent to brush our teeth
and go to bed. It was a comfortable sleep but most of us could not sleep easily.
In the morning we were told to wake up and to get ready, After everyone was
ready, the Explorer Scouts took us to do exercise. After we went to eat, we ate
sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, toast with butter and chocolate milk, it was a
very tasty breakfast. We were told to go and pack our bags. After that because
we worked on the comunicators badge, we were tested while the rest of us
played milo, when it was time to go, our parents came and we left.
It was a really fun camp and a few of us got our comunicators badge, i did too.

Cub Hike.
On Sunday 22nd of November 2009 the cubs went on a hike to the
Alassa area near Limassol where we met up with the Scouts who had
been on a two day camp in the area. We took a bus with Baloo for
about twenty minutes and then we started hiking for about 4 km in the
area. In my six there was Louis, Vassiliki, Alexandros and Christina
and one person was absent. The weather was very sunny and hot so
we were told to drink lots of water. Half way through our hike we
stopped to have a break and eat our snacks... The area we were hiking
in was very mountainous and at one point I slipped and scrapped my
leg. We passed the Church of Ayia Marina and stopped to look at our
map to see if we were going in the right direction with Bagehra. Finally
we met up with the scouts who had been camping in the area. Then
we took the bus back to the scout hut and were collected by our
parents. It was my very first hike and enjoyed it so much I can’t wait
until the next one.

Archaeologist Badge
On the 6th of February 2010 in the morning we left the scout hut to go to
Curium Amphitheater to look at its marvelous historical sights. When we got
to the Amphitheater we went to the center and saw a map model of the
Amphitheater. Then the scouts and cubs were separated into groups. We
then went to the main observation shelter. We saw signs they said house of
Achilles, The earthquake house and the Amphitheater. First we went to the
house of Achilles second the earthquake house and then had a treasure hunt.
To do the Treasure Hunt we had to visit all the houses like the Gladiators
house and the bath house and answer the questions as a six..
My six got first place. Then we took some photos. One was with all the sixers
holding a plastic pillar and then we all went to the Amphitheater and took a
photo of all the 53rd and went back to the center and the bus took us back to
the scout hut.

Artist Badge Camp and Trip.
On Saturday 27th February the Cub Scouts started the requirement for
their Artist badge. Mrs Christina the art teacher from the Heritage school
came to help children discover the world of art by first of all making a short
presentation on various artists and their different and varied techniques
and then educating them in the art of using primary colours. Each cub
made a colour chart using only primary colours and were taught how to
mix them to make a range of colours. They were then asked to draw and
paint a cactus of their choice from a selection of photographs. We have
discovered that we have some excellent artists among us. After our visitor
left we had dinner and then prepared our sleeping quarters in the 61st
scout rooms. Afterwards we sang campfire songs before lights out. In
the morning they all helped cook the traditional 53rd full breakfast of
sausage, bacon, beans, halloumi and toast on the bbq. The cubs then
carried on with their requirement for the artist badge to make a poster
about what they liked in scouting.
The following week the Cubs took a trip out to visit the 27th Sea scouts
which are situated in the old port. They joined together with their cub
pack and played games before taking a short walk to the Carob Mills
exhibition Centre to see and exhibition by the famous artist Toulouse La
Trec the final requirement for their badge.
