Find out about the traditions, culture, food, sport and other interesting things of a country different from their own. For this we chose India, we were lucky that one of the mum’s is a RE teacher and she ran 2 evenings giving the Cubs many interesting facts about India. In addition we had a night of sampling Indian food, this evening was run by Jo Ross who also runs Gourmet To Go, cooking & delivering to your home a range of foods from around the world.
