Cubs from the 32nd Cub pack recently attended the National ‘Howling’ adventure camp at Fordell Firs in Fife. 

The 20 Cubs and leaders enjoyed the company of 500 Cubs from all across Scotland for two nights.

Many thanks to the 32nd Cub leader team, camp staff, and staff at Fordell for making the camp so enjoyable.

Come the afternoon the Scouts were split into small teams and had to plot and navigate their way around checkpoints where they undertook challenges to collect bonus points.

Well done to all the Scouts that took part, and thanks to ADC Scouts Gordon for organising and all the Leaders/Explorers who supported the event.

After making their promise the new Beavers were presented with their neckies and membership certificates watched by their families and the rest of the colony.
