International Night

Last week, the Cubs went international, exploring what it is like to be a Cub Scout in three different countries as well as  learning about their cultures. 

Akela kicked off the session by sharing stories from his recent trip to Hong Kong, where he had the pleasure of meeting Cub and Scout packs from the 75th Kowloon Scouts. He also brought along pictures, badges, and snacks to share from his travels.

Next, we flew to Singapore with parent helpers Fairus and Sheriza, who taught the Cubs traditional Singaporean games from their childhood which were a big hit with all!. Fairus also shared his old Scouts uniform from his time as a Scout back home.

We wrapped up our trip by learning all about Italy from Kaa in her Italian uniform from her time as a Scout back home on the Italian Lakes. The cubs played a sensory game where they guessed herbs from their scent, and learnt about the Italian dishes they’re used in, and explored  the history and geography from the regions the dishes originated from.

To finish the Cubs learnt about the meaning and symbolism within our World Membership badge; a badge that is worn in some form by all 57 million members of the Scout movement across 216 countries worldwide! 

Thanks so much to all the leaders and helpers for a very insightful evening.
