As part of the Our World Challenge Award, this week the Cubs learned about the festival of Brazilian carnival by making masks.
Cubs visit London Postal Museum
On Saturday 7th March the Cubs travelled by Tube to The Postal Museum in Mount Pleasant to learn about the history of the postal service. The Postal Museum reveals five centuries of British social and communications history through the eyes of its iconic postal service.
We had a great adventure riding on the very squishy Mail Rail, a secret Post Office underground railway which used to transport letters under the city.
Shrove Wednesday!
Beavers had a flippin’ good time tonight, finding out about Shrove Tuesday (yes, on a Wednesday) and learning how to make pancakes. Including the incredible DIY pancake on an actual can!
Scouts winter camp. All over for another year. Camp fire Friday night on picture.
All Cub Scouts undertake the Cub Scout Promise and are expected to observe the Cub Scout Law. The Cubs did a Promise Scramble and practiced saying the Promise off by heart.
Merry Christmas!
We hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and New Year, see you all at the start of the next term in January!

Open evening Award Winners
Congratulations to everyone who won and who were runners-up in this year’s Beaver, Cub and Scout of the year awards given out at our annual open evening and AGM, and also to the first recipients of the ‘Baker Cups’ trophies given out for the most improved Beaver, Cub and Scout which will now be given out each year, of course named in memory of ‘Chief’ Barry Baker who led and gave such a huge amount of his time to keep North Richmond running for well over 50 years, and who had been part of the group all of his life since he was a Scout himself.
2019 Group Photo
Getting so many of the group together for Remembrance Sunday also gave us the chance this week to take a big group photo of everyone, along with a photo of our growing group of Young Leaders!
Remembrance Sunday Parade
We had a fantastic turn-out from the group on Remembrance Sunday for Richmond’s Remembrance Parade and service with 70 from the group attending alongside the Royal British legion, other Richmond organisations and more Scout and youth groups.
