Growing and learning

Our leaping wolves weren’t the only ones that were busy this term. In the last quarter we awarded:

  • 2 gold wolf badges and 11 gold wolf cats
  • 2 silver wolf badges and 7 silver wolf paws!

In order for cubs to complete their Silver and Gold Wolf badges they not only need to earn their paws and cats, respectively, they also need at least one interest badge for each of these.

Cub Interest Badges are great fun to do because cubs can choose the ones that interest them most. By the time a cub gains the badge they are quite the expert at whatever they have chosen. A total of 30 interest badges were awarded! These showed the array of interests and skills we have in our pack. Here are a few of them:

Some interest badges are about being helpful and learning important life skills. Here is Micaela doing some of her homecraft badge activities. Let’s face it if you want those badges sewn on quickly don’t wait for your parents to do it. Do it yourself

Winter was a good time to do some indoor based interest badges. Chess was particularly popular with a whopping 7 badges awarded! Cubs also did a lot of reading (3 scholar badges) and drawing (2 drawing badges).  We encourage all cubs to have a look at the badge book and pursue as many of the badges that appeal to them as possible.
