Monday evening Rainbows pilot the new hut by making igloos from marsh mini mallows.

They experienced a hut with no heating and no kitchen, but were still markably warmer than before we started.

Snowdrop commented “you used to walk in and could see your breath”.  And in the beginnings of winter no-one was wearing a coat and there was no sign of physical activity.

This pilot was possible due to the small size of the Rainbows group and the more placid activities they enjoy.  We’re now working hard to get cubs in on Thursday for their first experience of the new hut.
