It has been a busy term since we started back in January! All sections have been getting on with lots of different activities throughout the term.
Beaver Scouts (boys and girls aged 6 and 7) had an exciting March – their first Beaver sleepover! Michelle, one of the Beaver’s parents, said “A big thank you to all the leaders & helpers for giving our Beavers a great experience”. They worked towards the Air Activities badge, learning about aircraft and flying kites. Tuesday Beavers visited Ferndale Residential Home where they delivered pots they had planted bulbs into earlier in the year.
Squirrel Scouts (boys and girls aged 4 and 5) have been working towards their “feel good” badge with yoga and mindfulness. They also covered various STEM topics by exploring different senses, building a selection of structures (including a den!) and learning about planes with visitors from Shuttleworth.
Cub Scouts (boys and girls aged 8 to 10 and a half) visited a local fire station to learn about what fire fighters do (and how to use the hose). With the days getting longer they got outside and went for a walk around the local area.
Scouts (boys and girls aged 10 to 14) have brushed up on their navigation and emergency aid skills, and ended the term with firelighting and a campfire.
