Assistant Cub Scout leader Shona Philpot said: “It was a brilliant night. I think I learned as much as the cubs did.
‘‘Everything we did tonight was a big part of the road safety badge.
“Reminding the Cubs that they need to wear a helmet when cycling was also a good prompt ahead of our cyclist badge work.Many thanks to Lauren and Ray.”

Hide AdA RECYCLING scheme will give cubs the chance to gain a badge and help the environment.
Recycle with Michael is a recycling scheme run by The Salvation Army to encourage young people to donate their old or unwanted clothing and shoes.
The scheme teaches the importance of recycling textiles, extending the life of clothing and shoes that children grow out of so quickly.
It is already active in more than 500 schools across the UK. The partnership with The Scout Association means Beavers, Cubs and Scouts can now donate too.

Hide AdWhile the Scout Association is committed to remaining a uniform organisation, it has highlighted the fact that the last review was 18 years ago.
It is expected to be a long and considered process.
To kick things off, there will be initial research carried out this spring to collect views and opinions from people inside and outside of the movement. Everyone will have an opportunity to feed in.
