Our Centenary activity for October was to provided Harvest baskets for local residents.
I went along to Falcon Pack Cubs as they were helping to make up the harvest baskets.
Everyone in the Group had been asked to donate a tin or packet of some sort and when we looked in the stores there were loads of things in there!
Tins of soup, fruit, fish, custard, rice pudding along with packets of biscuits, tea and even some boxes of chocolates!
Some of the Cubs, Falcon Leaders, Dormouse and Bagheera from Heron Pack helped to sort everything into types of food to make sure that there were lots of different things in each parcel. Then the baskets were lined with tissue paper and they began to fill them.
Other Cubs were making harvest cards so that everyone could have one of them as well, and some of the older Cubs were addressing the card envelopes so that the leaders know where to take the baskets and the people who receive them know where they had come from!
The HQ was very busy for an hour whilst everything was got ready, then the Cubs were able to have their drink and biscuit while Dormouse and Shere Khan wrapped the baskets to make them look really nice. Then Baloo, Oli and Will helped to carry them all into the stores so that they can be collected and delivered over the next few days.
After all the excitement four of the new Cubs were invested which meant that the meeting finished rather late (nothing new there I hear!) and I went home with Oli as I am going to be measured up for a very smart suit for the dinner dance......
