This term saw the whole group come together at the Rugby fundraiser evening. It was wonderful for our cubs to see the scouts at work and be able to contribute to the evening and the fundraising. We had several wonderful stalls run by some of our cubs. The Benjamin Boys’ popcorn stand, Micaela’s bracelets, games and rice Krispie treats, the du Toits’ macrame key chains, the Youngs’ delicious crunchies, Max’s delectable lemonade, and the Sutherlands’ toy store.
Not only did these cubs help raise funds for the group, but they also worked at their entrepreneur badges. This is a fantastic badge where the cubs learn how to run a business and understand the concepts of gross versus net earnings. It’s not so easy to turn a profit and good planning is key to success!
A special note to Max’s exceptional display of patriotism which I am sure contributed to the success of the event and the Springbok’s victory. His passionate rendition of the national anthem made us all proud!
