FIRSTLY, Beaver numbers are up. We started the term with 13 Beavers and we’re ending with 14; 2 have moved up to Cubs, so that’s a gain of 3 beavers. Welcome to Charlie Gadd, Ben Wood and Todd Hammersley.
We’ve had a busy programme of events working towards all of the challenge badges, Global, Fitness, Outdoor, Creative, Friendship and Promise, as well as a variety of activity badges, Faith, Creative, Experiment, Healthy Eating and Imagination.
We have taken part in a District Football event, doing lots of training before the event and actually winning 3 games at the event. We’ve learnt about the Scout promise and thought about how to keep the promise. Listening to the story of the Lion and the mouse.
We’ve learnt how to make up a prayer using our hands.
We’ve had a healthy eating night where we made a huge fruit salad and banana smoothies.
We’ve learnt about forces and experimented with Balloons, making Balloon Rockets and racing them.
We’ve visted the new temple on Gypsy Lane in Leicester, the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir and learnt about the Hindu religion and way of life. All of the beavers were quite taken with the look and size of the temple, not to mention all the lotus flowers.
We’ve made mother’s day cards and learnt about St. Patrick.
We’ve attended an Ugly Bug Ball District Jamboree, taking part in a disco, face painting and various sporting and craft activities; some beavers even feature in the latest scout promotion video filmed on the day.
We’ve also made Easter cakes and rolled some eggs. Finally over the Easter
holidays we are completing a sponsored joke snake to raise money for comic relief.
