This weekend the beavers took part in a camp at home weekend
Many activities were organised for them to take part it, from spaghetti pioneering, plate gardens& planting seeds to indoor & outdoor campfires & cooking and sleeping in many different places - tents pitched anywhere they could, under the tables or makeshift camps.

Following on from last week’s session, we continued building our hedgehog 🦔 houses.
Each patrol was given the materials for almost a complete house, although some sawing still needed to be done. The Scouts used drills to make pilot holes for the screws, and every patrol worked really well together, showing great teamwork throughout the evening.
There’s still plenty to do before the houses are finished, but excellent progress was made and we’ll continue the project after half term.
Thank you to the team of dads who helped this evening and are wiling to return to finish our project, one in particular who spent his weekend cutting wood in preparation.
