On Tuesday, the Beavers worked towards their Book Badge by learning how to care for books and taking part in some brilliant, thoughtful conversations about their favourites.
They created exciting bookmarks, shared their ideas, and used their imaginations to design book covers — either for much-loved stories or brand-new tales they invented themselves.
A wonderfully creative and engaging session. Well done, Beavers!
What did you do tonight?
Well, the Cubs at 7th started their science badge, learning about plants, learning about building structures and then making a volcano…
We alo got treated to a Christmas classic on the recorder and played a few games….
Next couple of weeks we check in on our cress plants…..
Today, the 7th Bristol came together locally with their Guiding friends to remember those affected by war and conflict.
One of the readings read by one of the young people reminded us of what BP had once said:
“Try and leave the world a better place than you found it.”
If we can all live by this sentiment, and respect each other, our world would be better for it…
⚜️ LEST WE FORGET ⚜️
An outstanding effort today from all our young people who helped support the poppy appeal in Clifton Village. We had 4 full boxes of merchandise to sell and we left the day with half a box!
It was so lovely to see all our young people from all four sections working together, full of confidence asking people to donate to this worthy cause.
And donate they did! We won’t have a final figure until the cash is counted, but they raised over £1,234 on the card reader alone. An outstanding achievement…
Thanks to all the adults who helped on the day, and of course, our brilliant young people. It seems that the generous people of Clifton can’t resist giving you their money! 😉
Hopefully see lots of you for our short service of thanksgiving and reflection for our all age service tomorrow.
Absolutely brilliant work everyone 🥰
Tonight our Beavers learned all about Remembrance Sunday — what it means and why we remember. Each Lodge created a beautiful poppy wreath to lay during the ceremony this weekend. 🌺
They also learned about wartime rations and had great fun playing the blanket game together!
A thoughtful and creative evening — well done, Beavers!
What did you do Thursday night?
Well, the Cubs at 7th learned about the history of the “jack-o-lantern”, what it initially represented and what it means now-a-days (Trick-Or-Treaters welcome here)…..they then got messy carving pumpkins before watching them light up with some rather tasteful vanilla scented candles….
Thanks to the parent helpers who cleaned up afterwards….it was a massive help, so many thanks….
