This week our beavers were busy making poppies for Remembrance Sunday, out of the bottoms of plastic bottles of all things! A bit of paint and they look fantastic. They then distributed them around the local area for people to find and take home.
This weekend our seniors planned a survival hike as part of their Bushman’s thong award. It involved a four mile hike and very little in the way of kit! It was a fantastic weekend for all.
This week our beavers were learning how to have a safe and enjoyable bonfire night, including the basics of using sparklers. And toasting marshmallows of course!
This week our seniors starting stacking our new wood store ready for the winter.
This week our scouts cooked up a treat, homemade sausage rolls! However, we don’t have an oven in our scout hut so they had to find an ingenious way to achieve their baking. Who knew you can turn a coalman’s stove into an oven? They were, of course, absolutely delicious!
This week our beavers and cubs were exploring their artistic side by experimenting with Hama beads. These beads you can iron after arranging to permanently connect them into any sort of shape or design.
Second week back and our seniors are already pressing on with this term’s activities! For many years, we have wanted our own wood store so we can keep the firewood for the group nice and dry. Tonight, we have laid the foundations for something great. Check back for more updates as the project progresses!
The beavers have been very busy making a new board we can track birthdays on (as we are good at forgetting!). Each month of the year is on a different British native leaf and we all make a cut-out of ourselves to go around too!
Last term, our beavers planted a mix of fruit and veg plants. The ‘fruits’ of their labour are now paying off with some wonderful tomatoes, gorgeous strawberries and some very shy carrots. For a year where the garden hasn’t done particularly well with the weird weather patterns, I think our beavers have excelled!
