Community Litter Pick

Saturday 14th March 1st Woodcutts took part in the Sixpenny Handley Community Litter Pick organised by our own Bagheera!

Naomi Booth :: Tuesday 17th March 2020

We asked the Cubs as part of their World Challenge badge what they'd like to do to make a positive impact for their community? They suggested a litter pick so we have organised one! Working with the Parish Council, we'll started from the Parish Council office and work our way around the village collecting litter.

Cubs discover the world

What they did in the Autumn Term

Naomi Booth :: Thursday 23rd January 2020

In the autumn term Cubs on both Arctic Monday and Timber Wednesday nights completed their World Challenge Award. The world challenge award allows us to explore other cultures, beliefs and faiths as well as realising that there are cubs all over the world who make similar promises to us and play some fantastic games. The cubs were asked to research promises and games from other countries. They then told each other what they had found out and led games from around the world. This included the Cockrell game from Mexico standing on one leg and trying to steal a neckerchief from your opponents pocket, the Chinese Dragon game and most hilariously the camel game which is kind of like a piggyback race only the piggy is a camel made up of two cubs.

Remembrance Sunday 2019

Remembrance Sunday saw 115 of us parade through the village

Naomi Booth :: Tuesday 12th November 2019

We walked to the cenotaph and into church for the Remembrance service, each of the young people wearing a luggage label. Canon Richards sermon related to the evacuees during World War II and he tied this in with the fact many of the young people were of the age of many of our youngsters; the labels of course related to the evacuees. A suitcase was set up at the back of the church similar to what the young people of that time would have used; inside was what they were allowed to bring with them - it was not very much - a very moving service which was pitched for all of us to enjoy and understand.

Fireworks Spectacular 2019

Cubs in the Community

Cubs have been on a visit to Yeovilton, been collecting Crisp packets and have made a collection for the Trussel Trust Food Bank

Naomi Booth :: Wednesday 2nd October 2019

Over half the Cub membership joined a District organised day out at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton. As always, the young people of Woodcutts were both enthusiastic and exceptionally well behaved.
