3rd Colwyn Bay vs 1st Mochre Cubs - Battle on the Beach

3rd Colwyn Bay cubs met head to head with 1st Mochdre cubs on the beach in Colwyn Bay to see which group would be crowned Masters of the Sandcastle.

Judging proved difficult with each team taking a prize for winning the different categories.  So, which Cubs troop reigned victorious?............The jury is out and a rematch will have to take place next year to see if there is a clear winner.

Have you ever wondered what your children do when they come to Beavers?

This week fifteen Beavers spent time designing a great array of aerodynamic creations (paper planes!).

Great concentration and imagination was shown by all the children who worked hard to create the best planes they could.

Beach Road, Old Colwyn Stream Clean - the Photos

Scouts and Cubs from the 3rd Colwyn Bay Troop came together yesterday to clean up their local community.

As part of our Scout community week we removed all the rubbish out of the Fairy Glen river along Beach road in Old Colwyn.

 

This is something that we normally do once or twice a year. The river and surrounding park is a beautiful area within Old Colwyn but unfortunately it gets all sorts of rubbish tangled up along the river banks. We go through the river picking up all the litter and rubbish that has gathered over the several months. This year we have removed several bags of rubbish including an old bike and lots of plastic bottles!

 

We chose to tidy this stretch of river as it is runs passed our Scout hut on Beach Road, and as we often enjoy the surrounding park it seems only fair that we get involved with making sure it remains clean and tidy. Although the water was a little cold last Tuesday night the Scouts had a great time clearing the river and it is one of the many activities that we get involved with. 

8 year old Cub Nathaniel said "It was lots of fun and good to do something to tidy up.  I really liked getting wet!".
