I've been helping at my local cub pack for the past few months, mainly because they were going to close unless more helpers came forward.
There's a mix of 8 girls and 25 boys approx. with 1 leader and a few parent helpers according to ratios.
My query is this - the Cubs tend to chatter away themselves when they ought to be listening to the leader. This is always at the beginning of the session circle time, attendance checking and awaiting instruction for the evenings activity. It's really frustrating constantly telling them all to listen - the leader is very forthcoming with planning out the evening but with 20 mins wasted there's then less time for the activity.
I feel for all the ones who do listen - it's the louder ones that spoil it for everyone.
They just don't want to sit, not fidget and listen to what's been said.
Any feedback from other cub helps would be much appreciated - not sure if it's just this pack!
Thanks Nala
