Off with a BANG! September 30, 2015 (updated October 5, 2015) | By anthonym | 0 Comments Welcome back to September! We’ve gotten off to the new term with a great BANG this year with a District day out for the Beavers, at Hollingworth Lake, taking to the water in canoes and hiking. There was even dancing in the boats! A sleep-over for the scouts. The cubs have been testing out some new kit and making the most of the outdoors while we still have some light. Plain Sailing
End of term fun July 23, 2015 | By anthonym | 0 Comments Beavers and Cubs both break up for the summer at the end of July along with the schools, and return again in Early September. For the last two years Beavers have spent their last evening tubing at Rossendale Ski Slope. The kids have a great time bouncing down the slopes, and even some of the leaders get in on the act. More photos and some videos are on our Facebook Page. This year the Cubs practiced lighting fires and toasted marshmallows in sun. One of the Cubs was presented with his Chief Scout’s Silver award, and we saw a group off to join the Scout Troop. Have a great summer and see you all again on September 9th/10th.
Annual Beaver’s Water Night July 15, 2015 | By anthonym | 0 Comments The beavers all enjoyed the annual water night! This is one of our capstone events for the Beaver year and this year we had glorious sunshine to help it along. Everyone enjoys getting wet, and the Beavers all enjoy spraying the leaders. Cubs and Beavers don’t run in August, so this is a good wind down ready to bring the scouting year to an end for the children before the school holidays start. More pictures are on our Facebook Page.
