BEAVER SCOUTS CLELEBRATE WITH PIRATE ADVENTURE

THIS term has been very busy for our Beavers.
We’ve been on the Pirate Adventure Day which was to celebrate the Charnwood District 30th Anniversary, where the Beavers go on a treasure hunt and they got to make masks and swords and decorate treasure chests, dress up in sumo suits and wrestle or very own ‘Otter’, go on an obstacle course, sing songs round the campfire and after all that they each received a special badge, which celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Charnwood District. We’ve pretended to be Native Americans, making a totem pole, headdresses and giving our selves Native American names, making bows and arrows and going tracking and hunting like the Native Americans. For Father’s Day we made peppermint and strawberry creams and also 3d cards. The Beavers had a really good ‘messy time’ doing this activity.
We are currently learning about safety i.e. water safety to earn the first aid badge. We are also planning to go and pitch a tent on the park ‘weather permitting’.
We have had several new recruits join our Beaver colony in the last three months. We have 7 Beavers who have earned their Chief Scout Bronze Award, which is one of the highest awards Beavers can achieve, and 5 Beavers will be leaving us to move up to Cubs after the summer holidays.
To end the summer term we will be venturing on a walk around Watermead Park.
