Pyrford Cub Scouts recently joined hundreds from Guildford and across Surrey to enjoy an action-packed weekend of adventure, friendship and learning at Bentley Copse Activity Centre's annual "Cubs Cause Chaos" event.

The weekend, packed with exciting activities designed to build confidence, teamwork and resilience, offered an impressive range of activities including Leap of Faith, climbing, abseiling, zip wire, archery, pedal go-karts, cave maze, crate stacking and many more.

Cubs also enjoyed a film night on Friday evening, followed by a campfire and disco on Saturday night.

The weekend provided an opportunity for young people from different Scout groups to meet new friends and experience activities that many local groups cannot provide on their own.

Muhammad, aged 9, a Cub Scout from Pyrford, said: “I liked the cave maze because it was dark and scary and it was funny when you came back out where you started.”

The positive atmosphere throughout the weekend was also recognised by volunteers.

One said: "It was great to see all the Cubs getting on and trying new activities. One Cub was scared to do the zip wire, but on his second attempt he managed it. Other Cubs from the pack ran to greet him with pride and solidarity, which was fantastic to see."

Bentley Copse Activity Centre manager, Nick Cann, praised the young people and volunteers who made the event possible.

He said: "Cubs Cause Chaos gave young people the opportunity to experience adventure, try new things and make new friends. Events like this help them develop valuable skills while having fun in a safe and supportive environment.

“A huge thank you to the incredible team of volunteers whose hard work and dedication made the weekend such a success."

The event demonstrated the values of Scouting by encouraging young people to step outside their comfort zones, support one another and develop confidence through adventure.
