The Comanches and Cherokee Cubs took part in the District Sixers and Seconders camp at Boyd field campsite, on the weekend of 9th to 11th May 2003.

This was a camp for the older boys in the packs, and had a whole host of activities planned for them.

Friday night
All went well in the setting up of camp. All of the cubs arrived at 6:00pm and we unloaded all of the equipment. As a new regulation, the site now does not allow vehicles on the site, which meant we had to carry everything to the site (luckily we were not at the bottom of the field.)
The Cubs managed to put their tents up and we all set up the campsite.

After a game of football and a brief walk around the site, the Cubs were fed with burgers and made their way to bed.

Saturday
Today we were awoken at around 4:30 by some noisy Cubs. The Stotfold Cubs did manage to stay in their tents and stay quiet until 7:00. Cubs got up and had a wash and were treated to cereal, bacon, eggs and bread.

The activities for the day were canoeing, archery, climbing and shooting. All the Cubs took part and had a lot of fun. The Cubs had a campfire at 8pm, where they all sang lots of songs.

The Cubs were treated to spaghetti bolognaise for lunch and chicken with new potatoes for dinner. The Cubs finished the evening cooking crumpets round the fire.

Sunday

The Cubs were woken at 7:30am and had their breakfast. Today's activities was working towards some of the Cub badges. The Cubs erected a Icelandic Ridge tent, made fires and cooked in a cardboard oven.

The photos below, may take a moment to load. Please be patient.

When the Cubs arrived, they need to put their tents up.

After the campsite was set, and the Cubs had been for a walk. We assembled in the mess tent for burgers and a drink.

Our Baloo got his own Baloo finger puppet in the breakfast cereal.
