CuBe 2020 – it’s going to be AMAZING

CuBe 2020 will be the most exciting joint event for Beavers and Cubs ever held in Cheshire. It’s a weekend camp 1st – 3rd May 2020 to be held on the Cheshire Show Ground and brought to you by the Chamboree team.

Prices for the event have been released with Beavers and Cubs camp fees at just £35 with all Leaders/Adults paying £8.

Remember this is being organised by the Chamboree Team so Leaders only need to support their Beavers and Cubs over the weekend with all the activities and evening entertainment programme taken care of by the amazing Chamboree Team. There will be 5 camping areas each shared by two Districts plus guests that will be called Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania/Eastern Europe and Americas. Every Group (Beavers/Cubs) will be allocated a Country to research their traditional dress/costume and food.

It will have 5 activity zones created by the Chamboree team featuring bouncy castle heaven, mini adventures, caring for our world, technology gone mad and sports challenges – after all it will be an Olympic year!

CuBe is also going to be a special weekend for Explorers who are Young Leaders with Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs. In addition to supporting their Beavers and Cubs there will be special evening activities just for Explorers.

Don’t forget we have already announced that we will have a circus big topwith a show featuring acts from around Europe and there will be a special arena show on Sunday afternoon and the star attraction will be THE IMPS motorcycle display team.

Youth United Conference

Last Saturday Youth United held there annual conference bringing together managers from the nine uniformed youth groups in Cheshire. Scouting was very well represented with every District taking part and the County Team presented part of the day explaining how we put young people in charge, give them opportunities to lead events and activities and work to embed leadership skills in our programme.

Remembrance Day

It has been really nice to see the pictures from Groups and Districts who took part in Remembrance Sunday events in their local towns and villages. Encouraging young people to learn about the past and find links maybe to their own family history is a worthwhile activity and supporting our local communities in this way is appreciated locally. Great piece of sculpture created by a leader at Wistaston Scout Group that has drawn interest from around the County.

Thank You
