An aspect of Scouting that applies to all sections (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and beyond) is to try new things and push yourself. Longham Cubs and Scouts did exactly this with some adventurous activities. This event was particularly useful for the Cubs who were working towards their Adventure Challenge, which is needed for their Chief Scout’s Silver Award. They spent half …
After a week of record temperatures in the UK, where better to hold a Cub meeting than on the local lake with a Kayak club. As well as fun and frolics in the water, the Cubs learned enough kayaking skills to earn their British Canoeing Paddle Start Award certificates. This involved developing their basic knowledge to enable them to safely …
After a very hot week, the Cubs were pleased to get outside and enjoy a pleasant sea breeze. They spent the evening of crab fishing and set new record for Longham with 364 crabs caught in one evening. Many Cubs are now becoming expert in the sport and have their own ‘secret’ baits, special lines and traps. Everyone had great …

It didn’t show though as all the newcomers took to it like ducks to water and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately, the stressful exam season meant that most of our young leaders …
The District Presentation Evening in March 2018 was a particularly special one for Longham.

For the final Presentation Evening of 2017, Longham young members did us proud with further achievements for the year. Our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Young Leaders all received Chief Scout’s Awards at the event held at Ferndown Middle School.

A new Dorset County record was set in 2017 by Longham Cubs. We have become the first group to win the County Quiz trophy three times in a row. This year however had a special twist: They were joint winners with a team from Jumpers, Christchurch who scored exactly the same, even after extra time. We were therefore delighted to …
