We took our Cubs and Scouts to Hautbois Activity Centre in Norwich for the second year in a row in the Autumn of last year. We go for 2 nights so the travel time to here makes it close enough to home that a weekend is doable. The Cubs and Scouts love the activities on offer – paddle boarding, sit-on kayaks, climbing and abseiling were the chosen ones this time – and of course we have the added bonus of our very own Akela Chil for the Saturday night campfire!

The Cubs plus about half of the Scouts attended Legoland in November ‘22, it’s always a great day out and ours love it. We went on bonfire night so we could see the Legoland fireworks.

In November, the Group were all invited to attend a preview evening of the Ickworth Park Light Nights Trail within the estate. One of the many perks of being a NT tenant! I’m not sure having all Cubs and Scouts there at the same time was quite as relaxing as they hoped but at least we prepared them for the hoards due over the coming weeks!!

The Group was also invited to attend the Christmas Carol Service held in the church on the Ickworth Park Estate. The Cubs played a very active role in the service with readings, prayers and sketches. It’s a beautiful setting.

Scouts have attended District Winter Camp and Patrol Camp already this year and, as I write this, are preparing for Archery and Air Rifle Camp this coming weekend. We also have a water activities evening planned at Lackford Lakes later this term.
