Squirrels and Beavers continued working towards their Chef/Super chef badges this evening by making Tabbouleh.
They enjoyed chopping cucumber, tomatoes and onions and tearing the herb leaves before mixing with the bulgar wheat. They taste tested it, some liked it and some not so much.

Squirrels and Beavers had fun last night. They learnt about pioneering and made some dens with the help of our wonderful young leaders and team members.

They then played a great game running over the broom handles which were laid out like a ladder.

We’ll have space in September if you’d like your child to join in.

This weekend Scouts took part in the Annual District Wayfinder camping competition. Scouts are assessed on their first aid skills, pioneering, fire lighting, problem solving and communication skills. They also have to look after themselves for the weekend having planned their menus and organised what kit they need. Saturday they provide a 3 course meal which is judged for nutritional value, presentation and taste. Teamwork is also key. It’s a fabulous opportunity for scouts to learn and have fun.

For the first time this year 1st Effingham were the winners of the coveted trophy. Well done scouts!

Last night we had great fun making kites 🪁 choosing how to decorate them and then running around outside trying to make them fly.

Last night our Squirrels and Beavers visited St Lawrence church. They learnt about the pulpit, the lectern and font. We looked at the stained glass windows too.
We then had a treasure hunt finding various items in the church before going outside to play.
A good start to our faith badge.

Thank you to Rector Rev’d Phil for welcoming us.
