๐Ÿ’ค Beaver Sleepover 2026 ๐Ÿ’ค

This weekend we welcomed 15 of our Beavers to the HQ for our yearly Beaver Sleepover! The theme of this year's event was 'Pirates'! ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Upon arrival our Beavers got stuck straight into the themed activities by making pirate hats, before heading outside into the sun to make their own pirate ships (some even complete with cannon portholes)! We were blessed with fantastic weather and were lucky enough to be able to enjoy both dinner and breakfast outside in the field for some alfresco dining! After dinner (and the washing up being done by the Beavers - see photo for evidence!), we decided to take an impromptu trip to the park to burn off any remaining energy before heading home for the obligatory campfire and then sleeping bag cinema (with popcorn) before bed ๐Ÿ˜ด

After breakfast the next morning, it was straight back into our pirate themed activities with some team based challenges, with each team competiting to earn the most points! ๐ŸŽฏ

Well done to all our Beavers, for many of whom it was their first time sleeping away from home. You all did incredibly well and we hope you had a fantastic time! โšœ๏ธ

With the football world cup just around the corner, last night our Beavers got into the swing of things by hosting a small tournament of their own! After all the games were played, there was still nothing to separate England and Argentina who finished on equal points, meaning the bragging rights had to be settled with a play-off final! Ultimately, it was Argentina who were able to seal the deal and win the 'Manor Court Beavers World Cup'. Perhaps a sign of things to come in the real tournament? ๐Ÿ‘€ And what would a world cup final be without gold medals for the winning team?! ๐Ÿ…

Well done to everyone for getting involved and joining in with the fun! โšฝโšœ๏ธ

๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฆซ Blackdown District Beaver Day 2026 - Beavers 40th Bash ๐Ÿฆซ๐ŸŽ‚

Yesterday our Beavers joined over 250+ other young people from across Blackdown district for the 2026 Beaver Day, this year celebrating 40 years of Beavers! It was a truly fantastic day full of unique and amazing activities such as grass sledging, open fire popcorn making, archery, axe throwing, bouncy castles and even a massive downhill water slide, to name but a few of the bases on offer! Every individual base was put on, hosted and run by a different group from across the district, so well done and thank you to all groups who attended and helped make the day the success it was.

With such excitement on offer, not even the slightly miserable weather could damped our spirits! Well done to all the Beavers who came and braved the initial wet weather, we hope you'll agree it was worth it! โšœ๏ธ

๐Ÿฆ•๐Ÿง™ Wookey Hole County Beaver Day 2026 ๐Ÿง™๐Ÿฆ•

12 of our Beavers had a fantastic time today at Wookey Hole, as part of the County Beaver Fun Day 2026. As well as exploring the famous caves (and learning about the legend of the Wookey Hole Witch), the Beavers also got to experience the 4D cinema, play a round of pirate crazy golf, watch a circus performance, have lunch with the dinosaurs in the valley of the giants, take on a mirror maze and burn off any remaining energy in the soft play!

Thank you to Somerset Scouts for organising such a brilliant event! โšœ๏ธ

Last week our Beavers had a fantastic evening pond dipping at a local stream. It was a highly successful night, with our Beavers netting a record 11 bullhead fish in total, alongside a wide variety of other insects and pondlife! ๐ŸŸโšœ๏ธ

On Tuesday evening our Beavers continued working towards their 'Health & Fitness' and 'Cook' badges by making a healthy snack, in the form of homemade salsa and tortilla chips! ๐Ÿ…

The Beavers followed the recipes at each of their work stations and safely prepped/chopped all of their own ingredients! Finally, everything was given a quick blitz in a blender before serving with warm tortilla chips fresh from the oven! โšœ๏ธ

Manor Court Scout Group would like to say a huge thank you to the Mayor of Chard, Rev. Nick and St. Mary's Church for organising and hosting a wonderful St. George's Day parade. We had an excellent turnout of 29 young people in total, and it was great to see so many other young people from within the community (1st Chard Scout Group, Girlguiding Chard) taking part also. Well done to all of you for getting involved, you've done yourselves, and the community proud! โšœ๏ธ

๐Ÿค Beavers Community Challenge! ๐Ÿค

Last night our Beavers were hard at work doing their bit for the community with a litter pick up at Snowdon Park! ๐ŸŒณ

Over the course of an hour, and armed with their litter grabbers, our Beavers managed to fill up approximately 4 bags worth of discarded rubbish from the pathways and hedgerows (which was sad to see, but great knowing it's now all been disposed of correctly)! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to the park without letting off some steam in the play area at the end of our session!

That now brings our Spring term at Beavers to a close. We'll be back up and running for our summer term after the Easter break! We currently have 2 spaces available for young people aged between 6 and 7.5 years old to join us when we restart! Please reach out via '[email protected]' or drop us a message for more information! โšœ๏ธ

Over the course of a few weeks during this term, our Beavers have been working hard towards their Space badges by making their own planets! They all started with a balloon which they papier-mached, then painted with their own designs once dry. We had designs such as a rainbow planet, a lava planet, and our personal favourite, a chocolate planet!

Well done Beavers, your Space badges will be awarded to you all during our first session back after the Easter break! ๐ŸŒโšœ๏ธ
