Cubs Break World Record!

The Monday Cub pack took on a challenge this term – to break a world record. After a night racing to build tin can towers (world record 3s for a 10 can tower) and sticking post-it notes to our faces (world record 60 post-its in 60 seconds), the Cubs identified a record that fit the whole pack… To beat the record for ‘most people riding a skateboard’ they needed to better 22 people (the record set by the band Weezer in 2008). Over four weeks they turned their ideas and plans for a big skateboard to reality, and then 26 of them rolled across the park on their skateboard, to break the world record!

They had a lot of fun playing with their skateboard. And have all learned something new whilst on the tools

Expedition Challenge 2024

Every year we run the Expedition Challenge, where a small group of our older, more experienced Scouts plan and complete a hike to Auchengillan from the Scout hall, carrying all the gear they require for an overnight stay. An aspect of achieving this badge is to present to the rest of the troop about their experience. Here is the presentation made by this year’s Expedition Challenge group.
