Boom 2023, the Beavers are out to make the most of you! At the beginning of every term, we involve the children in a ‘log chew’ where they let us leaders know what they would like to get up to over the following months. This term is no different. The Beaver Colony fancy getting to grips with science experiments, trying their hands at magic tricks and sharing their passion for all that is Pokemon! Any science minded folks or members of the Magic Circle out there who fancy sharing their passion and skills with the group please get in touch, you’d be made most welcome!

Cubs spent the first meeting back in a ‘pack forum’. Scouting is a youth led movement, so it’s important that the cubs have a say in the planned activities. They have some big ideas for the year ahead!

Scouts have been working towards their Communicator award. We all know they can text and communicate through devices but can they use Morse code to send and receive messages? And the answer is yes, they can, using torches! They also learned the phonetic alphabet although there were some interesting suggestions for the letters! Scouts also decided what they wanted their Patrols to be called; they will be known as Cobra, Kingfisher, Panther and Stag, quite a variety. They showed great teamwork coming to decisions.
