Many Beavers, Active Cubs & Trying Something New

Last night I went to see the Beavers and Cubs mainly because of the reason I’ve discussed in my last three posts.

However I was also there because seven new Beavers were invested into the Colony last night. To see seven excited 6 year olds getting their neckers and badges is great!

Then at Cubs I watched as they continued with their Fitness Challenge. As part of this they are getting some experience of doing martial arts as it is a new experience for most of them.

Because I knew these were going on I took my camera. As well as taking the usual photos, which can be seen in the Group’s Gallery, I thought I’d use the video function to take some ‘action shots’.

Obviously video on a stills camera is never going to be great, but it’s good enough to show what’s going on and also to put on the net –

Of course with the software included with Windows (Movie Maker), it’s quite easy to knock something up quite quickly albeit a bit rough and ready.

This video is now on the Group’s site and is only the second time I’ve put video on our website. The first was about 8 years ago and was a rather nasty Real Video clip that was awful quality and yet took ages to load up because of using dial up internet connections. Thank goodness for YouTube!

There are plans for another video in the near future, but I can’t go into that at the moment!
