District Cub Quiz

Written by Dave Simon | 01 December 2009

On Saturday 28^th November eight teams of four Cubs, from seven Packs, entered the annual quiz. This year the quiz was based on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, allowing the whole event to take place on one evening. There were four rounds, with each team member playing one round, until they got an answer wrong!

To explain the play there was a demonstration round with the leaders competing. This allowed the Cubs to see the different lifelines - 50:50, a reduction of possible answers, Phone a Friend, help from one of their team members and Ask the Audience, collaboration with the rest of their team and a leader.

The first game played out very well, with one Cub from 30^th Eagles getting to the £1000,000! This set them up well for the following rounds. Over the next three rounds no other Cubs reached the fifteenth question, but a few managed to gain £32,000. This led to the following final scores:

So 30^th Brighton Eagles won the team trophy, with Benjamin Cook taking home the Bright Spark trophy for the best score for his £1000,000 round.

Well done to all the Cubs (and Leaders) who took part. We're sorting out a date for next year and hope that more Packs will enter.
