Our forthcoming events are listed in order of date.

the page:
St George's Day Parade: 27 April
One of the important weekends in the Scouting calendar
is coming up. Please see our St
George's Day page for full details of the arrangements
for the parade.
Narrowboating weekend:
9-11 May
For one of our nights away next term, we have decided to try
something a little different. The Scouts have had quite a
few successful nights away on a narrowboat and we have
decided to see what it is like! We will be away on Friday
9th May to Sunday 11th May. As the boat can only take nine
Cubs, we have decided to have two groups, which means that
we will be able to take 18 Cubs in total. 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. You can now download the
narrowboating letter
(including guest list),
kit list,
health form and
joining instructions.
If you are going on this trip you should now complete and
return your health form.
Giants & Monsters Camp: 13-15 June
As our camps are so popular, we have added another camp
to the events for this term. We are planning to go to Walton
Firs (under canvas – so we will need some volunteers to help
pitch camp on Friday and strike camp on Sunday!) for the
weekend of 13th – 15th June. We hope to be joined by some of
our friends from 1st Billingshurst. The details for this
camp are still being finalised, but it is likely to cost
£35. This camp takes place on the national Giant Sleepover
weekend and so you will be able to help break the Guinness
World Record for 'the biggest simultaneous sleepover'
overnight on Saturday 14 June 2008. As usual there will be a limited number of places
available, so if you would like to go please return the
reply slip together with a deposit of £10.
Gilwell Park funday - 22 June
We will again be attending the funday at Gilwell Park
this year. Our trip takes place on Sunday 22 June and is
open to Cubs and Beavers. A note giving more information has
been issued. Please return the
consent form if
you are going on this trip. There is a possibility that we
may be able to organise a second coach because we are still
getting a number of enquiries about places. If you haven't
got a place but would like to go please make sure that your
leaders know.
Splash day at Longridge - 29 June
Longridge is the Scout Association's water activity
centre on the Thames at Marlow. The District has booked it
for an activity day on 29 June where you will get to try out
several of their activities including bell boats, kayaking,
sailing and climbing. We have 24 Cubs attending this event
as you can see from the
guest list.
Summer Camp – 26th July –
2nd August
We have already booked the site for our Summer Camp and
decided on a space theme. This year we are going to Cranham
in Gloucestershire with the Scouts. We last went to this
site in 2004 and you can see some of the things we did under
“Past Events” on the website. We will again be offering the
option of a mini camp (Saturday – Tuesday) or a full weeks
camp. Unlike previous years we will not be arranging
transport so you will need to make your own arrangements.
We are still very much in the planning stage, but do need an
idea of numbers. The costs are likely to be £130 for the
full week and £90 for the mini-camp and it is now time for
you to pay your
deposit. We still have some places at camp so if you would like to
go, please complete the
reply slip, indicating if you
are interested in the full week or the mini camp.
CubJam - May 2009
Cubjam 2009 is a jamboree camp for Cubs that will be
held at the Scout Association Headquarters at Gilwell Park
from Saturday 23rd May 2009 to Friday 29th May 2009. At the
moment we are deciding whether we should attend and are
looking for expressions of interest. Please
see the note and
return the reply slip if you are interested.
Group
T-Shirts
The Cub Uniform includes an optional
green polo shirt but we would prefer you to wear our blue
group T-shirt. The new t-shirts are to a slightly different
design and are now in stock. Cub sized shirts cost £6 each
and are ideal for wear in the Summer Term instead of your
sweatshirt.
Please note that the green "County Day" t-shirts do not
count as official uniform wear - only our blue "2nd
Bracknell" t-shirts may be worn with a scarf instead of your
sweatshirt.
Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell has joined the "buy.at" network which means
that we earn commission on things you buy online if you go
through our online shop at
http://buy.at/2ndbracknell. You'll find over 100
retailers there including M&S, HMV, play.com, Amazon, John
Lewis, Thorntons, Early Learning Centre and Field & Trek. You pay the
normal website price so you can raise money for us without
spending a penny extra.

Scout Shop
If you need uniform then the Scout Shop is the place to
go. The Scout Shop page has more details and includes
a map showing how to get there.
e-notes
We try to provide electronic copies of our notes
when possible. We call them e-notes
and you'll find a list of the current ones on the
menu bar at the left of the page. All of these
notes are in Word format.
If you are
new to Cubs you may find our Welcome Guide useful. We also have some
frequently
asked questions such as what is the Law and Promise and a
chart to show where the badges go.
Badge Requirements
We don't publish the requirements for badges on our
site. To find the appropriate links to Scoutbase see the
"Badges & Awards" link at the left of each
page.
