This week our Beavers were exploring the world of plants. They planted a mix of seeds and bulbs and we can’t wait to see the results of their hard work!

This week our Seniors were surprised with a Ready Steady Cook style challenge where they were presented with a bunch of ingredients and told they have to come up with a main meal. They absolutely aced the challenge and concocted a fantastic pasta dish, maybe we have some new camp cooks?

What a busy night! After our Beavers made some fantastic pancakes, we invested four new Beavers into the Colony.
A small selection of our leaders paid for themselves to attend the WFIS general assembly because of our group currently lacking the funds to cover the costs. They flew to Portugal to accept our invitation to become full members after successfully completing our probationary period. Our group now joins over 150 affiliated groups in 65 countries, combining to make a staggering 7 million individuals.
Richard, our GSM, commented, ‘I am pleased to advise that our Scout Group was accepted as a full member of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS) at their General Assembly in Lisbon, Portugal on last Saturday. The acceptance vote was unanimous, and our three young leaders were greeted with a standing ovation when we were invited into the meeting. There were some 150 Scouts there from many countries and the majority were young leaders!’
Through our membership we can now network with Scouters around the globe.

Beavers: Colour Mixing
This week our Beavers were busy exploring again, but not outside this time! Instead, they were in the hut learning all about mixing colours and doing some fascinating experiments to see what colours they could make.
