The Young Leaders put on a fantastic Halloween party this year, with zombies, buckets of brains, creepie-crawlies as well as the usual apple bobbing and bowls of flour. They also filled the hall with spookie smoke and eerie lights!
You knew that, if the Cubs organised the evening themselves, there would be sweets involved, and that’s how it turned out!
They started with a paper aeroplane design challenge (sweets as prizes) to a paper aeroplane race (sweets as prizes) – won by Alfie.
The ladder game was followed by – which team can build the highest Polo tower (Kai’s group) (you can guess what the prize was). The evening finished off with an eating-sweets-with-chopsticks challenge (no prize necessary).
Let’s hope they all cleaned their teeth properly before bed! Well done to the Sixers and Seconders

The cubs were given a challenge this week, to build a free-standing structure which could carry the weight of a brick.
The three sixes each had a good attempt – some more successfully than others.
The evening finished up with a game called ‘Tidy Up’ where junior members of each six had to adorn their sixers with as much equipment as possible (without dropping any). This wasn’t just a test of strength for the sixers, but tested their creativity in finding new ways to hold everything!
Our young leaders helped our cubs cook up a treat last night – on the menu was pizza, shortbread and banana splits. It wasn’t the healthiest meal but they all enjoyed it.
The beavers and cubs had their Halloween party last night, and what a gruesome gathering it was!
Despite the fearsome sight, the ghouls set aside their differences and enjoyed a selection of party games including the now-traditional bobbing for chocolate in flour.

The evening ended with a nice selection of party food and a test-run of our new popcorn machine!
