Stags runs on a Tuesday night. It is led by Baloo (Peter Freeman), Raksha (Nicky Morgan) and Kali (Colette Culross).

Wolves runs on a Thursday night. It is led by Mang (Neil Coles) and Hathi (Rhiannon Williams) with help from Chil (Rhys Williams) and Stuart Harmsworth.

We've made getting in touch by e-mail very easy. There are no complicated e-mail addresses to remember. All you need to do is type in the leaders pack name, e.g. Baloo then add @2ndbracknell.co.uk. Failing that, click on Contact us and complete our enquiry form.

Now is the time to book your place if you want to come to District Camp, Summer Camp or narrowboating in September. We also need you to let us know if you'd like to represent 2nd Bracknell in the District Football Competition. All the details are below and you'll find a link to that all-important reply slip. If you have already returned a slip for these events then your name should be on our guest list. If not, please tell Baloo.

District Cub Camp: 10–12 July
We only have a District Camp every two years so they are always special occasions when Cubs from across South East Berks camp together. This year we are having a District Camp at Chalfont Heights Campsite at Chalfont St Peter. The theme of this camp is Pirates and certain to be a lot of fun. The cost of the camp is £35 and you can reserve a place by completing the reply slip with a deposit of just £10. We are likely to need some help from parents on this camp, so if you are able to help please let us know on the reply slip. For an idea of the activities have a look at District Camp 2006 which had a pirate theme.

District Six-a-side Football Competition - 19th July
One other district event that is always in the summer term is the District Cubs Six-a-Side football competition. Last year 2nd Bracknell managed to win the trophy and we would quite like to win again! The competition will be held at Binfield FC on Sunday 19th July. There is usually quite a number of Cubs who want to play, so if you would like to be considered for the 2nd Bracknell teams, please complete the reply slip below. If any Mum or Dad is willing to manage the teams on the day, it will make life easier for the leaders, so please let us know. We particularly need some of our younger cubs as we are restricted to only playing a maximum of 2 ten year olds at any one time.

Come dine at WINGS: 5 August
The group is sending a large contingent of Scouts and Explorers to the WINGS international camp in Windsor Great Park this summer. If you are aged 9 or 10 then you can visit the camp on the Wednesday evening. For more information and the reply slip please see our WINGS note.

Summer Camp: 15-19 August
Because we will have already had a week’s camp at Cubjam 2009, this year we will not be having a week long Summer Camp. However, for the leaders it wouldn’t be summer if we didn’t go away! So we have decided to have a short camp in August with our friends from 1st Billingshurst and will be going to Bentley Copse at Shere in Surrey. We last went here for our Jungle camp weekend in June 2007. We have had a number of replies but there are still plenty of spaces available. The costs are likely to be approximately £90. If you would like to go, please complete the reply slip.

District parent & child camp: 18-20 September
South and South East Berkshire Districts come together for the annual parent and child camp at Earleywood in September. This year the theme is "enviro camp". The costs will be £9 per head plus food costs which will be known nearer the date. Places are limited to 300 campers across both districts so we need to reserve our places as soon as possible. To reserve your place please e-mail CW with the names of the campers that would like to take part. A £4 deposit will be required when places are confirmed. Should you need to borrow a tent we hope that the group will be able to help you out.

Narrowboating: 25-27 September
Next term we will be repeating our narrowboating trip. We last did this in May 2008 and pictures are available by clicking on past events. We will be using two boats, but to give as many Cubs as possible the opportunity to go on this trip, we have decided to have two groups. One group will leave Bracknell in the minibus on Friday evening, overnight on the narrowboat, travel up (or down!) the canal on Saturday and return to Bracknell Saturday evening. The second group will then leave Bracknell, overnight on the narrowboat, travel on the canal on Sunday and return Sunday evening. The costs are still to be confirmed but are likely to be about £30, and you can reserve a place with a deposit of £10 and by completing the
reply slip. Please indicate if you would like to be in group one or two.

Group T-Shirts
The Cub
Uniform includes an optional green polo shirt but we would prefer you to wear our blue group T-shirt. New t-shirt stock is now available with sizes up to age 12-13. Cub sized shirts cost £6 each and are ideal for wear in the Summer Term instead of your sweatshirt.
