Successful Evening Walk

We had the Cub pack out for our annual portion of the Smuggler's Trail hike this evening. Normally we would do this walk in May or June but circumstances prevented us from doing it before the summer break.

The walk is not a difficult one - we only do the final 3.5 km from Collennan cottage, up past the old reservoir, though Dundonald Wood, ending at Dundonald Castle.
The main difference this time was the level of light. In May there is a god stretch in the evenings, but that's not quite the same in September. However, with torches and glow sticks we headed off.

The recent rain had left some puddles on the path, but luckily the weather stayed good. Nice and dry and not particularly cold.

I think the excitement of walking in the dark and using a torch to see the path focussed the Cubs's attention on the task at hand, but in reality it wasn't that dark, except towards the end. The photos do look darker that it was.

Earlier than expected, we arrived at Dundonald Castle where the Cubs relaxed in the playpark while we waited for the parent to come collect.

Smuggler's Trail

Next week, 17 September, we do our annual “Smuggler's Trail” walk from Loans to Dundonald Castle.

This means the cubs will have to be dropped at the Bus Stop at Collenan Cottages on A759 (Loans Main Street) at 7:15.

Cubs will need to be collected from Dundonald Castle car park at 9pm.

We will do the walk regardless of the weather conditions!

Please make sure sensible shoes and appropriate clothes are worn!

Bring a Friend to Cubs

It is our Bring a Friend to Cubs night on Tuesday 10 September.

Every cub can bring their friends along to Cubs and see if they want to join up.

Anyone, boys or girls, wanting to take need to be between the ages of 8 and 10 and a half.

The pack meeting will be held in the Loans Scout Hall between 7:15 and 8:45
