I think I have this blog worked out, only taken an few attempts. Last week at Cubs we made models of the Solar System they are hanging on our Six hooks.  This is part of the Space badge.  Later in the term we will be going to Stargazers. Next week Mr John Douglas will be talking about how Scouting started in Sunraysia and we will also be revamping our time line, so for any one who brings some info, I may have a treat!! August 22nd is Scouts In Action Week Disability Awareness so keep signing the Promise and I will teach you all the next bit, next week. August 29th we have a  Dentist Visiting us, to teach us about looking after our teeth.
