🛶 On Saturday, 65 Beavers from across the Tewkesbury District took part in some indoor water sessions at Cheltenham College. The Beavers learnt how to kayak, safely learnt how to swim after being capsized and how to help rescue others in the water.

Charlie, 6, said “I was a little scared at first but I did it and feel so proud”.

🦢Wow! 1st Gotherington Beavers became Wetland Explorers for the day at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre first ever Explorer day! The day has been put together by the amazing Education team for Rainbows, Beavers, Cubs and Brownies.

Wetlands are incredibly important to the environment and animals. Days like this help educate young people on why we have wetlands and what we can do to help.

For May Day on Monday, Beavers from 1st Woodmancote took part in the local parade, a tradition every year. The Group also provided the BBQ, and there was a lot of hungry people as they sold out of burgers and hot dogs!

On Sunday 11th May, Tewkesbury is having a Big Clean and are looking for volunteers. Open to Scout groups across Tewkesbury to help keep our streets and alleys in Tewkesbury tidy.

🎖️Maybe this could go towards the Beaver's World Challenge Award, Cub's Our World Challenge Award or Scout's World Challenge Award?

Our next event is what we are calling “Tewkesbury’s Big Clean” before the Big Weekend. We hope you can join us.
