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….

What a jolly exciting evening the Beavers had this week as they went for a visit to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, learning about its history and making bridges of their own! 🌉 Then an equally exciting walk back to the HQ on the dark. 🔦 ✨
Thanks and a happy birthday to Kiwi who organised our evening. The Beavers giving her a stirring rendition of Happy Birthday finished off a wonderful evening! 🎶 🎂 ⚜️

A special session learning all about Diwali at Squirrels tonight. They listened to a story all about celebrating this special festival and made their own Rangoli patterns out of coloured sand. 🪔🌟 🐿️

Welcome to the family of Scouting and enjoy all your adventures! ⚜️

Thank you Chestnut and team for a fantastic session! 🐿️⚜️
Our Beavers enjoyed learning all about money this evening and played shove ha’penny and money bingo! 💴 💰 🪙

Well, the Cubs at 7th played some pirate themed games (learning their port, starboard, bow and stern terminology in the process (as well as a lot of scrubbing the deck)) and Pirate Pizzas (with them as the toppings!! (yuk).

🎶🍦 Shake, Dance, Freeze! 🦫✨
Tonight our Beavers became chefs and scientists as we made ice cream in a bag! 🥛🧂🍨 With plenty of shaking and a full-on dance party to help the cream freeze, the final result was delicious – if somewhat sloppy! 😋✨
A big well done to all our Beavers for the teamwork and energy! 💚
The squirrels learnt all about looking after our environment tonight. 🐿️
From learning how to recycle, ♻️
looking after our rivers and oceans 💦 🌊
and doing a water purification experiment. 🧪
Looks like it was good fun and the children enjoyed themselves.❤️
🦫✨ Tonight our Beavers became germ detectives! 🧼🦠
We learned what germs are, where we find them, and how to wash them away. The Beavers tried a bread experiment (results next week 👀🍞) and painted their hands with “germs” to test washing with cold vs warm soapy water – the UV black light made it extra cool! 🌟
We wrapped up with a fun game of Hot Potato! 🥔🔥
Great job Beavers – clean hands and big smiles all round! 💚
What did you do tonight?
Well, the Cubs at 7th staved off the rain long enough to visit their campsite, Stiles.
There, they played Zombie Apocalypse, then cooked bananas, marshmallows and melted chocolate on open fires….
Great night, all seemed to have fun (and chocolate) and it stayed dry!
Thanks to all who helped ……
A great first evening back for our squirrels! 🐿️
We made new friends, found out what fun we can have during the sessions and took part in some craft activities too! ⚜️
🌟 What a fantastic start to the new Beaver term!🌟
We were excited to welcome 6 brand new Kits into our colony tonight 🎉.
Our Beavers also took a moment to congratulate their new Lodge Leaders 👏 – well done to each of you for stepping into your new roles!
To finish the evening, the colony took on an adventurous round of The Floor is Lava! 🌋 Teamwork, problem-solving, and a little bit of logic were all put to the test – and our Beavers rose to the challenge brilliantly.
Great work everyone – we can’t wait for next week!
The Cubs ended their term with team games involving getting wet… 💦 a water fight that involved getting even wetter… 💦 and ended with toasting marshmallows resulting in getting a little warmer… 🔥 It was lovely to see Stiles being used again by our Cubs.
We said farewell to Thomas as he moves up to Scouts and we wish everyone a very happy Summer!
Stay safe and see you in September 😎
Thanks to all our Cubs and Families for such a great year. Enjoy the Summer break 👍
