This Camp was very eventful with the Girls thinking the new tent was missing a part and found it a minute later,Ruairi falling down a hill and Kellyann burning her hand. It was definatly interseting. But we did get back to basic’s doing some pioneering and putting up the tents. by Stephanne and Grace.

we had a great weekend camp the weather for the most part good not to hot, we used our new tents witch turned out great lots of room. It was also one of out new leaders first camp Siobhan Feeney who joined our unit last year she had a great time and is looking fordward to our next camp in June.

Our Cub pack had a great day our with other Cub Scouts from the area in Donadea forest on Saturday the 24th of April. The event was organised by Gemma and her other helpers. The maps of Donadea forest was a great boost ans helped the Children see the vast expanse of Donadea and its great amenities.

 we came back to the Den in the late afternoon for clean-up and garden planting. At 7.00pm we had a BBQ and investiture of 4 new cubs: Michael, Thomas, Tara and Ciara, by the camp fire. The weather was very good to us, with the Children playing untill nearly 10.00pm. They came in then to get ready for the sleep over. Greg warned them all to make sure they are alseep before him; otherwise no one would sleep. He wasn’t joking his snore was nearly as bad as mine,.
