Grey Wolf Presentation
Posted in: Cubs | May 1, 2011
A few weeks ago, 3rd Croydon awarded our first Grey Wolf award in six years! Connor Parlevliet worked hard, especially over the last summer holidays, to complete all the tasks required to earn the highest award in the Cub section of Scouting. Members from the Cub, Scout and Venturer sections were on hand to witness the presentation and congratulate him on his effort and achievement.

District Cub Leader Keego presented the badge to Connor. Keego explained that not every cub gets the Grey Wolf award, it’s usually an older cub that earns it, and you have to work hard to get it. She said “It’s a cub you can always go to and ask for advice because they’ll give you the right advice.”

To get to the Grey Wolf cubs need to earn achievement badges in each category, one special interest badge, and their Gold Boomerang. As well as this, in the past twelve months they need to participate in a variety of outdoor and inter-pack activities, attend two pack councils, plan and lead a hike, and prepare a resource for the pack that can be used to teach the younger cubs. Here are the full requirements for the Grey Wolf award.

It is a great honour to be awarded the Grey Wolf, and our group is especially proud of Connor’s achievement. On the night, Connor’s family set up a display of much of the work he had done to meet the requirements, and many of the cubs were looking curiously and wondering if they were Grey Wolf material. Several other cubs are already working towards the Grey Wolf so we look forward to more proud presentations like this.
