Goodbye Canvas Store

While it is essential to maintain our group in the present, it is also vital to build it for the future. This weekend, some of our leaders were removing our old canvas store, which was beyond repair. To prevent mould, our canvas must be stored in a clean and dry environment. Sadly, over the many years our old store has served us, it has been repaired for leaks many times, and it was no longer possible to keep patching it. However, we look forward to our new store which will be placed in our old store’s footprint!

Seniors: Using their loaf!

Our seniors put their baking skills to the test and made some bread. One of our leaders lent them a coalman’s oven which fits handily over one of our coalman’s cookers. They made some great loaves, which were delicious with butter and syrup!

Beavers: Poppy Making

This week our beavers were busy making poppies for Remembrance Sunday, out of the bottoms of plastic bottles of all things! A bit of paint and they look fantastic. They then distributed them around the local area for people to find and take home.

Seniors: Survival Camp

This weekend our seniors planned a survival hike as part of their Bushman’s thong award. It involved a four mile hike and very little in the way of kit! It was a fantastic weekend for all.
