This week at 1st Renton Cubs, they explored the exciting world of pioneering and lashings! The Cubs had a fantastic evening learning new skills, and it was brilliant to see our new Young Leaders getting stuck in and supporting the activities.

Whether you started back school yesterday or today, we hope you have an amazing year filled with learning, new adventures and plenty of fun.

A special shout-out to any Squirrels starting primary school for the first time and to Scouts who have started secondary school.
