Our Cub Pack camps annually away from our Hall. This year we camped together with 4th Claremont/Fernwood Cubs. Cubs over 8 years old camp for the whole weekend, while younger cubs join in for a day of fun!
Cub Camp was held on a farm in the middle of nowhere (Kogelberg) and the theme was MasterChef. We made almost all our meals and they all tasted great – in particular the couscous and chicken stew. We also made s’mores and braai apple tart. There was a slip and slide which was loads of fun and on both nights we played stalk the lantern. For the campfire we all made up our own skits and Daniel forgot the words to his song! We learnt how in different cultures different people dine and the types of food they eat.
We met a lot of famous cooks including Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey. The cubs were divided into vegetable named sixes: Carrots, Beetroot, Mielies, Peppers and Tomatoes, while the scouts were Dragon Fruit. We had a number of minor first aid incidents, but nothing the medic couldn’t handle. It was very fun, except that we could only ride the slip and slide twice when we were promised we could ride three times! We really enjoyed it and recommend it to cubs who don’t get to go on lots of outings or camps in general.
