Our Virtual Cub camp takes place this weekend 27th / 28th March and we are excited to share our plans so far. We will add to this page as we go along and on the day will share another page for all our Presentations , Instructions , Activity information , pictures and lots of fun !

Important – Please take pictures/videos throughout the day at all stages – we generally camp together and everyone knows what everyone else is up to :)- we will share with the rest of the group (password protected) Also consider that we would like to share some pictures on the website publicly when we are done. (consent will be sought before publishing).

Please also ensure Cubs wear Neckerchiefs at all times when on “Camp”.

Plan/Do/Review

A big part of our normal process is “Plan” , “Do” , “Review”. This helps Cubs to discuss , prepare and get everything they need for Camp.

Plan– Plan their shopping list and the equipment they will need . Take a look at the Food and decide on things they will need .
Do – Prepare and Cook the meals including awareness of hygiene before , after and during – and tidy up afterwards.
Review – We get together and talk about how everything went , good points , bad points and what we might do better for next time.

Building & Striking Camp

We suggested the cubs find somewhere different to sleep at home ( other than their bed ! ) . This could be a tent outdoors, a den indoors, on the floor next to their bed. We leave it up to you and your imagination.

Please email photos of camp ( in progress/completed ) – cubcamp@26thgalway.ie or add to WhatsApp group before 18:00 hrs.
