Thank you to everyone who supported us on the 4th July, it was lovely to meet the leaders from the past and hear about their adventures and to our parents for making such lovely cakes.
Through their efforts we were able to raise £256 for the group and had a lot of fun.

The Cubs had an enoyable time helping the residents of Wessex House make Easter Bonnets. We are begginning to build a relationship with Wessex House and looking forward to future events together to help make an impact in the community.
10 Cubs took part in the District event in Wincanton, everyone who took part did their best but particularly proud that Lawrence came 1st for Somerton in the Chess and Ruben came first in the Draughts with Mark coming third.
The top 12 from each discipline then went on to the County Event where Lawrence came first in Chess with Ben second.
Very proud of everyone who took part in this event.
Very proud of all who took part in making this a really succesful evening. The Cubs but on a show including WW1 songs, Carols, magic tricks, violin and Cornet recital, world flags quiz and much more. The Cubs came up with all the ideas themselves and they were treated to a drink and a chocolate as a thank you.
It was such a success that we will be developing more links with Wessex House into 2015.
Nice write up in the Western Gazette with picture, see link below
We had a wonderful autumn camp with the Cubs arriving at Huish Woods Scout campsite Friday evening while the sun shone. Once everyone had settled into their tents we had a light snack and then played games in the dark.
The next morning the rain came down but this did not stop us having lots of fun making woodland creatures, lots of snails, antelope and even spiders were made from wood and twigs.
We then managed to find wood dry enough to light fires where we cooked sausages and baked apples which we ate for lunch.
In the afternoon we identified trees from their leaves and fruit, found insects and made a survey of the local wood as part of the Naturalist badge.
Sunday morning we took part in the Zip wire and followed the Orienteering course around the campsite. All too soon it was time to pack up and go home, but everyone had a wonderful time and I am sure we will be back next year.
The Cubs had a great time Kayaking at Sutton Bingham reservoir to start off the new term.. Everyone had a great time with some getting wetter than others!
Summer Camp started on Friday evening at Buddens Scout campsite with lots of excitement which meant the Cubs took some time to get to sleep. Then the thunder and lightning and torrential rain started! Everyone stayed dry overnight and started the day looking forward to lots of fun.
Saturday morning started off as planned building rafts, giving the Cubs a chance to use the square lashing skills we had been practicing before camp but just as we were about to go on the water, the heavens opened again! This meant we had an early lunch and once the weather cleared we got our rafts on the water and they both floated! Lots of games followed with who could stand up and do head , shoulders, knees and toes on their raft. Well done to Mark and Ruben who were brilliant!
Finally the sun came out and we were able to get dry and after supper the chance to have our own world cup football match and then off to bed.
Sunday morning the sun shone and everyone had a chance to have a go on the Climbing wall with three Cubs being able to touch the ceiling of the Climbing barn, then off to abseiling. Well done to everyone who really challenged themselves and had a go at everything.
Looking forward to Autumn camp in October for even more adventures.
The Beaver and Cub sections visited Woodhouse Park Bristol for the annual Funday on the 21st June.
The group had a lot of fun with lots of different activities from Craft, Fun Fair, Assault course, water slide, Laser Tag and Go carting and lots more!
Will definitely be back next year! The video gives you an insight into the day with some of the Somerton Cubs being interviewed.
