We wanted to say thanks to all the Beavers (and Cubs, Scouts and Ventures, of course) who made it to our annual St Patrick’s Day parade turnout.
It was a cold and wet one, but they did us proud, with smiles all round. Well done all!
General Info
Beaver Sleepover a Huge Success
Great fun was had at our recent Beaver sleepover with our younger beavers, with plenty to do and we even managed to get some sleep 🙂
What Beavers Do
Welcome to Beavers, we’re sure you’re going to have a great time! You will be in Beavers from when you join (usually when you are 6) until you are 8, when you will move to Cub scouts. Beavers will be divided into small groups, called lodges, where you get to learn about how a team works. Everyone has something they are good at, so when you get a group of boys and girls together who are good at lots of different things you will learn that working in a group is a great way to get things done.
Beavers learn lots of things about nature, about being away from home with friends, about building things from wood and rope. Beavers do some art, play lots of games, learn some cool things about science, learn how to safe around fire and outdoors, cook and find things on a map. You will also learn more about the community you live in and we visit some great places.
Some activities Beavers participated in last year include:
- Art nights
- minibeast safaris (insect hunting)
- tie dying
- animal track casting
- writing codes
- sky lanterns and sparklers
- Fire skills and marshmallow cooking
- Science experiments
- football
- swimming
- map reading skills (Treasure hunt)
- games
- 2 sleepovers in the Den
- trip to the Zoo
- Duck picnic in Lough Boora parklands
