On Monday 17th January we went to the Leisureplex to play bowling and quazar for our rescheduled party.  We called it our New Years Party ! Some pitcure from the bowling are available here:

The County Cub Quiz, whihc was postponed before Christmas, has been reschdeuled for Friday 11th January 2011 from 7pm to 8.30pm in Frankfield Community Centre.

The 40th Cubs Christmas Party in Leisureplex has been rescheduled from Monday 20th December 2010 to Monday 17th January 2011.  The decision has been taken on the grounds of safety, due to the poor road conditions caused by the snow and ice, and that temperatures have now dropped below zero again.  The 40th Cubs will resume after the break on Monday 10th January.  We would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a happy and joyful Christmas. – Niall & Conor

Due to severe weather conditions and icy roads, particularly in the Grange / Frankfield area, the County Cub/Macaoimh Quiz has been postponed until early in 2011.  Cub/Macaoimh meetings are expected to go ahead next Monday and Tuesday as normal.

The County Quiz for Cub Scouts and Macoimh will take place in Frnakfield Community Centre on Friday 3rd December at 7pm.  All macoimh that have qualified should be present at 7pm in uniform and bring a pen !  The event should be over between 8.30pm and 9pm.

This Sunday (14^th November) we are participating is our first orienteering activity of the year.  It is being held in Currabinny Woods. This is part of a County scout event and other groups will also be participating throughout the day.  Our allocated slot is from 10am until 12 noon.

Macaoimh should wear warm clothes and a rain jacket and must wear their neckerchief.  If the weather is cold a hat and gloves would be advisable. Macaoimh can also bring a light snack and a drink for afterwards. No eating or drinking is allowed in the woods, so the snack and any other gear should be in a backpack, which can be left in the car park.

As this is a short activity, if parents or other family members would like to participate on the day we will have spare maps and cards available with a choice of a basic 60minute or an advanced 90 minute course. There is no charge for this activity.

Orienteering is a great introduction to map reading – an essential scout skill and we would hope that everybody can turn up on Sunday
