25th & 26th May 2024
One of the greatest assets of our group is that most of our current leaders were also once our beavers! This weekend was an excellent training experience for our new leaders and comprised many of the basic scouting skills. To see our young leaders develop and build the foundation for the next generation is truly exhilarating. Well done to all involved for such a wonderful time in the Forest of Dean.
This week our Cubs planted some vegetables and made bug houses. Can you identify what they planted?

Seniors: Hobo Stoves
This week our seniors made Hobo Stoves, these are small stoves which are often made from tin cans with legs attached. They have great ventilation meaning they burn really efficiently.
This week our Beavers were exploring the world of plants. They planted a mix of seeds and bulbs and we can’t wait to see the results of their hard work!
This week our Seniors were surprised with a Ready Steady Cook style challenge where they were presented with a bunch of ingredients and told they have to come up with a main meal. They absolutely aced the challenge and concocted a fantastic pasta dish, maybe we have some new camp cooks?

Scouts: Camp Fire Cooking
After the recent success of the Scout’s fire building, this week they were challenged to create a meal which could be cooked entirely on one green stick. Their choice: a form of sausage roll made from a sausage and bread twist dough. . .interesting. . .

We couldn’t post this on the night as our Beavers were undertaking a secret mission to make Mother’s Day cards. But now the day has past, here is a behind the scenes of the clever colour mixing they achieved to get their designs.

Scouts: Post-Hike Fire
After an exhausting twelve mile hike at the weekend around Box Hill, the Scouts took it easy and enjoyed making a fire.
What a busy night! After our Beavers made some fantastic pancakes, we invested four new Beavers into the Colony.
