Clever cubs managed to capture this message using just sparklers.

The 1st Charing Cubs, who are in desperate need of a new home, joined forces to write the impressive message using the small hand held fireworks at their meeting last night.

It reads: "1st Charing Cubs. We need a new home."

Group scout leader Terry Lister said he thought of the idea for the creative appeal earlier this week.

He got the children to write each word in the air as fast as they could, so he could quickly take a photo.

He explains "Each cub had a letter and a sparkler. We split them into seven groups, and then took a picture of each word, before splicing them together.

"I thought of the idea a few days ago to coincide with bonfire night and the fact we need a new home."

At the moment, the 1st Charing scout groups meet in a hut off Pett Lane in the village.

However, the 60-year-old wooden building has fallen into disrepair, with a leaky roof - as the above picture demonstrates - and limited facilities.

Mr Lister added: "It is old fashioned. There is no toilet or kitchen. We have a new beaver group now, and girls, so it isn't ideal.

"We need to start raising money for a new home."

Between them, the scouts, cubs and beavers need to raise £70,000.
