Cubs, Scouts & Beavers
Members of the group have been very busy over the past month - both the cubs and the beavers visited the police helicopter - and both groups had an excellent time.
The beavers had a really good day at Squirrel Wood on their District Beaver Day - with lots of different fun activities to take part in, whilst the Scouts had a good district camp at Hesley Wood - again with plenty of different activities to join in - and followed this by a visit to the Firestation to complete work on the firefighter badge.
The cubs welcomed four beavers into the pack at a going up ceremony and two more beavers, James Owen and Damian Waymouth , have gained the Beaver Challenge award. The Colony will be welcoming some new members in once Spring Bank holiday is over - whilst there is still room in both the pack and the troop for any new members who would like to join - boys only in the pack, both boys and girls in the troop.
Leadership in the troop has been strengthened by the return of former member, Chris Clarkson, as ASL and by Lauren's mum who has volunteered to be a regular troop helper.
Finally, a last reminder that our AGM is at the Barn on Tuesday, 5th June at 7.45pm. Please support us if you can.
