What an exciting way to spend a Sunday morning! Butterfly, Squirrel and two of our Beavers with their parents and younger brother joined Beavers from 11th Boston at Blackfriars Theatre. We saw the Magic Bubble Man. He was amazing, blowing bubbles from very tiny ones to huge ones that fitted a person inside! He even blew a square bubble - it was magic indeed!! Our two Beavers went up on stage to give him a helping hand and ended up with new hairdos made out of bubbles. They loved it.

Today the Beavers learnt all about different types of disabilities. We talked about how people with hearing disabilities might navigate the world, as well as people with hidden disabilities and difficulties with sight. We looked around our hut to find different ways in which it is accessible but also ways in which it isn’t. We supported our Beaver friends to move safely around the hall when wearing glasses that simulated different types of sight loss. We learnt how to use BSL to sign the initial letter of our names.

Today the Beavers realised that leaders are rubbish at taking photos but here is an explanation of what happened tonight.
Puffin invested Hetty who she said her Promise very clearly and with a big smile. We also welcomed 2 new children who are going to see if they would like to be Beavers - we really hope they enjoy it and want to join us.
We are working toward our safety badge. Tonight we learned about who a stranger is and how to stay safe if approached by a stranger. We then talked about what we would do in the event of a fire and spoke about a fire escape plan for both downstairs and upstairs. We then all gathered around some toy cars and explored different ways to cross the road safely.
As ‘homework’ this week the Beavers have been tasked with asking their parents to help them to develop a fire evacuation plan for home.

Today the Beavers visited the RNLI lifeboat station in Skegness. We learnt all about the boat tractor and all of the cool features it has. We found out that it could go right under the water if needed. We then walked around the station and learnt a lot of facts about the old boats ( they were originally towed into the water by horses!) and how the crew keep themselves, the people they rescue and the boats safe. Did you know lifeboats have a blue light ( like all emergency vehicles) which they use when they are going to a rescue? We then walked up the stairs and learnt about the different areas that the boat has, such as a special cabin for all of those who have been rescued, a rope cupboard, and many other features. We then headed into the on shore lifeboat room and learnt all about the boat and the differences ( apart from the size) between the two. Finally we headed into the coat room where we saw the uniforms and the safety gear the crew have to wear.

This week at Scouts we packed away the now dry tents from camp and sorted out all the different components so they are ready for the next use. We discussed our personal challenge award and completed some more team work challenge badge work resulting in 2 Scouts finishing that badge. We also welcomed a new Scout in to the troop and awarded some badges earned at camp.

We were very pleased to invest a new Beaver tonight. Harry said he was nervous but he didn’t show it and said his Promise very clearly so we could all hear. His sister came in uniform and held the flag for him which made it very special.

Tonight our Beaver Scouts have learnt how to stay safe in and near water.

They used their imagination when dipping their hands into water they couldn’t see into to find objects. They pretended their hands were feet and they were jumping into a river. They thought about how it would feel to land on the objects or to get tangled in them.

They found out how we would know where it was safe to swim when at the beach and they had a go at rescuing someone by coiling and throwing a rope to them. They know that they must always keep themselves safe first though.

They also practised shouting help very loudly and demonstrated the floating position.

At the end of the evening they were awarded an RNLI Water Safety badge and certificate.

This week our Cubs and Scouts spent two nights camping at Woodhall Spa Scout Campsite. Lots of fun was had, despite the first rain downpours in weeks happening while we were camping!

We did some pioneering, some rope bridge making, and we even found time to help District Lead Volunteer Rob rebuild the dead hedge in front of the reflection area - though that very quickly turned into a competition of who could bring the biggest sticks 😂😂!

And we most definitely did not let the fire ban stop us having a campfire. A traffic cone, fairy lights and some sticks collected by Akela’s 3 year old son made a perfectly good facsimile!

Special shout out to Rob Johnson who made sure that the pitch we wanted to use was ready to go before the children turned up 🥰

And well done to our Cub Team Leader Akela Pete who managed to gain his Nights Away Permit during this camp, meaning that we are now able to plan more camps for the future!

And the best achievement of the week? Every single Young Person on camp went home with huge smiles on their faces after yet another fantastic camp.

On Monday the 15th of June we assembled our beloved bug houses. They consisted of the sticks and twigs we had collected the week before, a couple things out of puffins garden and toilet rolls stuffed into a milk carton. We had a lovely time admiring all the insects we could find already living inside our hotels. We also made beautiful pictures using our thumbs and some paint for a special person in our lives for Father’s Day.

On Monday the 8th of June we went on a hike around Jenny’s wood collecting natural items that will be used to build a bug hotel next week. We had just enough time to play on the exercise equipment too. We were also joined by lots of parents (thank you for your help) and a new Beaver. We managed to make it back to the car park before the rain.

On Monday the 1st of June we focused on…… First Aid. Well done if you got it right. We learnt all about what to do if someone gets hurt, how to call for help, including what to say to the emergency services and how to comfort someone who is hurt. We also learnt how to put someone into the recovery position and what to do if someone is bleeding.
Next week we will be away from our usual meeting place! We’re going on an adventure! . 🚶🌳🪾🐞
