Beaver Colony News and Information
We were delighted that so many members joined us for our Remembrance Day Parade and Service on the Vine on Sunday. While it wasn’t actually sunny, it was warm (for November) and dry.
All the sections of the group were represented, including the Squirrels.
Cubs from the 4th & 9th hiked from Shoreham. They took in the view from Meenfield wood and then went on to meet Beavers at the Otford Solar System.
Next they stopped for chips on their way to Mill Lane followed by a campfire! Everyone slept outside with many Cubs hammocking or bivouacking for the first time all under our fantastic outside shelter. Many first nights away were achieved.
Awesome evening on Friday with homemade Chinese dumplings, authentic puppets and drum which we danced our junk model dragons and lions too.
Millpond Colony started the spring term looking at water filtration in the run up to our #amillionhands activities.
We have also got some photos of last term which didn’t quite make the website!
The Pinewood Colony were getting into the festive spirit by practicing their tree-decorating skills this week. When they get home they will be pros.
Last week Pinewood Beavers hit the park to build some dens! The Beavers had great fun building six super dens – one beaver even built her own little fairy den!
The beavers enjoyed an introduction to campfire cooking on Wednesday. Alongside the do’s and don’ts, they managed to cook sausages, toast marshmallows, make themselves smores and have an impromptu sing-song.
The beavers travelled to Shoreham on the train this week.
The Beavers spent the evening testing their construction skills.
Unfortunately many marshmallows were sacrificed to bring you these constructions.
The Young Leaders put on a fantastic Halloween party this year, with zombies, buckets of brains, creepie-crawlies as well as the usual apple bobbing and bowls of flour. They also filled the hall with spookie smoke and eerie lights!
