While in person Cub Meeting have been suspended due to COVID, 26th Halifax Cubs meet virtually this week with a Cub Trivia Night. Cubs were challenged ( well not very challenged!) to answer a variety of trivia questions some related to past Cub adventures. Cubs also took turns sharing some corny jokes! A fun evening was had by all. It was great to be together again even virtually!
Hello out there Cubs! We hope you are all staying safe and working hard with your new on-line learning! We miss being together and are working on some virtual meeting ideas. While we work on virtual meeting ideas we also developed another way to continue our Cub experience. We are starting what we call the 26th Halifax Covid Stay at Home Cub Challenge! Each week we will issue a new and different challenge to our Cubs. These challenges will be directly linked to the Cub Scout Badges. What does this mean? Well simply by completing each challenge, Cubs can learn something new or do something to help or show kindness to others. Maybe even along the way Cubs might even have some FUN! ![]()

Here is how it works. Each week we email out a new challenge, this will also be found in our Scout Tracker just like our weekly meetings, along with the badge requirements you will achieve. When you complete a challenge send us your accomplishments, include any pictures or videos you may have made. We will later share these accomplishments at either an in-person or virtual meeting. Besides your badge there will be special recognition for those who complete the most challenges!![]()

Once again in keeping with Public Health Guidelines Scouting Groups across the HRM has been moved back to Stage 1, meaning NO IN PERSON meeting indoor or outdoors. We can only meet virtually. This is a sad but of course necessary change. One again COVID is hurting our youth activiites.
On a beautiful spring evening last Wednesday, 26th Halifax Cubs celebrated Earth Day 2021. Cubs converged on Westmount School Field and Playground the surrounding walkways in a COVID friendly garbage clean up. Litter accumulates. It’s ugly. The culmination of litter looks bad in our community and harmful to our environment. Our youth are doing their part to make our would be a more environmentally friendly place to live.
26th Halifax Cubs enjoyed a beautiful but cool evening at Flinn Park in Halifax West end, working on Team Building Exercisies. Our small Lairs of about eight Cubs have been more important this year as we as a large Scouting Group practiced safe COVID measures to ensure everybody's safety. We learned the importance of working togeather.
