Notes

1. As is now our tradition we have a large folder containing all relavent materials and information for the program as well as each leader being given a program and information pack. This year this included the sheets for the rooms, sixes, codes, groups on the days out, games and more

2. Being experienced leaders we have always been able to chop and change the programme at will, often at last notice. So this time we have set the times for meals and days out (to enable the cooking crew to plan properly) but the exact activities are detailed in the leaders notes. This enables us to swap things around without causing undue confusion by reading an outdated programme. With proper communication and competent leaders this should be no problem.

3. The games were detailed in full and assigned to certain leaders. As we had several new leaders with us along with some Explorers it was an attempt to make sure that they felt valued and included without dumping them in at the deep end.

4. The theme was reality TV throughout the week. The diary room video was available to the Cubs to use several times throughout the week.

5. We tried something different this year with leader groups. The 3 most experienced leaders went in one group and all the other leaders went into another group. We alternated day to day for taking the Cubs through all the work (the other group was always to hand if requested or to help with minor chores). It worked in some ways and failed completely in others. Email for more details if you wish.
