Today is the day that 1500 cub scouts from around Perth gather for a day of fun activities. Hugo and I drove out the the venue with the intention of dropping Russell, Adam and their friend Connor off and returning home. Once we had found our group and starting looking around it became quite apparent that this was a day out never to be missed! Hugo and I joined in the fun and took part in many of the planned games. There was water bomb missiles, air rifle shots at targets and a giant blow up bootcamp adventure. One stall offered the chance to see how many flip flops you could throw into a bucket from a distance, another was a horizontal pole for pillow fighting a partner. There was candy floss, Marie biscuit icing and popcorn in a cup that you had to make out of a sheet of paper. There was a marble competition and a giant potato shooting catapult! The children made gazoo's out of ice cream sticks and elastic bands, hammered wood together for a project and answered a cub Promise and Law quiz.
It is a full day. There are hundreds of parent volunteers and fabulous games and activities on offer. It is truly remarkable how much effort has gone into organising this event. Our boys will no doubt come through the door, weary and delighted at the great time they have had all day.
