Saturday 21st August – Time Travellers – Leaders Notes

4:00 p.m. Please ensure that we have a tour of the campsite to let the cubs know where everything is and what is ‘out of bounds’.

5:00 p.m. Time Travellers Briefing: Explain to the cubs (roughly) what we will be doing during the upcoming week and explain the week’s theme

7:00 p.m. Time Travellers: Each six needs to work together to help build a single large ‘Time Machine’. Perhaps it could be large enough for all the cubs to squeeze in when we travel through time each day.

Each cub/six will be working on their scarves (like a Dr. Who multicoloured Time Lord scarf) throughout the week. The longest scarf at the end of the week will win a prize.

A K-9 is the small robot dog that Dr. Who had. These can be constructed from the standard craft materials, perhaps with the addition of some simple electronics to provide flashing lights and sounds.

Any other gadgets that the cubs think a time traveller would require can be made.

8:30 p.m. Game: See games list.

10:00 p.m. Night Exercises: The cubs will not go to sleep early on the first night anyway, so we are going to go to bed a little later. The period after supper can be spent doing energetic exercises and ‘mini-games’ in order to try to take some of the excess energy out of their system.
