Cub Abseiling and Canoeing Weekend

We’re excited to invite Cub Scouts to a fun-filled weekend of abseiling and canoeing, run by the North West Region Team.

Cost:

$50.00 per person. This covers all camp fees and catering from Saturday breakfast to Sunday breakfast. Please remember to bring your own dinner for Friday night.

Help Needed

We warmly invite Leaders and Rovers who hold a current qualification in abseiling or canoeing to assist with running the activities. Your help ensures the weekend is safe and enjoyable for all our Cubs.

Who Needs to Complete the Form?

Unfortunately, no form means you won’t be able to participate in the activities.

Supervision

Home Leaders are asked to supervise their own Cubs outside of activity times, especially in the evenings.
