A large part of Scouting is about giving our members Skills for Life. Last week the 16th Laurieston Cubs discovered how living with a disability can affect the way they take part in games and activities and the adaptions which can be made.
 
The Cubs wore eye masks which simulate vision impairment but by using a ball with an internal bell they were able to play several games. They also surveyed the Scout Hall, assessing its suitability for members with disabilities eg access to toilets, door opening widths etc.

The Beavers and Cubs of the 1st Falkirk Scout Group had a joint trip to the Panto this year! Along with some of the Antonine Explorer Scout Unit helping out as Young Leaders, forty-five of the youngsters enjoyed ‘Sinbad’ at the Dobbie Hall, Larbert.  The photograph shows the young members all excitedly waiting for ‘curtain up’ on the performance, by the Larbert Musical Theatre Group.  The show had all the classic lines, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The Group meet at the Rosehall in Falkirk and are always looking for new helpers. Contact GSL@1stfalkirkscouts.co.uk for info.

Scouting is all about giving young people the Skills for Life, and so members from the 62nd Larbert recently had the opportunity to learn some new skills. They visited Fordell Firs for a weekend of adventurous activities. For some, this was their first night away from home which was a challenge, then there were the activities. Taking part in challenging activities gets the adrenalin flowing, so doing Abseiling, Climbing, Caving, Crate Climbing or Archery for the first time, proved exciting for these youngsters. Overcoming fear or apprehension, working with others and having fun without gadgetry was a fantastic learning experience.

The 62nd Larbert Scout Group chose a lovely warm day earlier in the year for their Family Funday at Barrwood. Much planning and teamwork had been required, but that ensured 140 members and families had a day to remember. Members, as young as 6, had a go on paddleboards and kayaks (under very close supervision), with their amazed families watching on. Some of the youngsters were afraid of the dark, or so they thought, until they started crawling around in a cave network, what fun. Then the sports events and BBQ was welcomed by everyone. It was a great adventure for the young people.
