Our Beavers enjoyed learning all about money this evening and played shove ha’penny and money bingo! 💴 💰 🪙
They decided as a Colony to save money by doing good deeds to the Bristol Children’s Hospice.
Then it was onto investitures - 5 new Kits invested and 2 new leaders joining in the fun!
WELCOME TO THE 7TH BRISTOL!!

They learned how to iron their neckerchiefs and along the way played a few games…
Then, we welcomed our new Sixers and their deputies and invested 5 or our new arrivals….oh, and a few sweets were handed out too….

What did you do Thursday night?
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).
Then we learned about London Fashion week and the history of the T’Shirt as well as some famous icons of fashion (Katherine Hamnett) and then….we designed our own T’Shirts (minus any political messages)….
The Cubs were really engaged with this….
(p.s. sorry for the delayed update, was awaiting photos)

🎶🍦 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 👍
What did you do last night?
Well, the Beavers at 7th braved the rain to have….you guessed it….an end of year water fight.
Spirits weren’t dampened (though all who took part were) and a great time was had by all.
We said goodbye to a few of our older Beavers, sending them off to Cubs.
Then, a campfire, toasted marshmallows and home to dry clothes and warm beds….
Thanks to all our amazing parents for bringing them and taking part too….
END OF AN ERA
Tonight we said a fond farewell to Nina who is leaving us after 4 years of volunteering at the 7th Bristol Scout Troop. Over the Summer she
will return home to Northumberland to complete her PHD, but hopes to remain in Scouting.
Good luck and THANK YOU Nina from all at the 7th Bristol Scout Group.
You will be missed... ⚜️
Best wishes for the future Nina and thanks for all that you have done for the YP of the 7th Bristol Scout Group 👏👏👏
Thanks Nina, good luck with your future plans 🙂⚜️
Our Scouts had glorious weather for sailing on the docks earlier in the week. ☀️😎⛵️
What did you do Tuesday night?
Well, the Beavers od 7th made puppets and learned about storytelling, before enacting some…..wonderfully creative stories…..
Then we gave a Beaver his Bronze and welcomed another to the group….
Oh, there were also ALOT of badges awarded!! Happy sewing everybody!!
☀️🚴🏻♀️🚴🏾🚴🏼♂️🚴🏼 A glorious evening for a mountain biking adventure around Ashton Court for the Cubs. Have fun!! 🚴🏻♀️🚴🏾🚴🏼♂️🚴🏼☀️
This week was carnival week at Squirrels! 🎪 🎡 They had great fun making masks, dancing to music and reading a very funny book all about a carnival disaster!
The evening was made even more special by 5 of them receiving their Acorn Awards - the highest award they can receive after gaining all their challenge badges! 😯👏
What a brilliant achievement - well done Squirrels! 🐿️
Oh brilliant x
What did you do tonight…?
Well, the Beavers of 7th went to Tree Tops High Ropes at Ashton Court and climbed and zipped through Aston Court Estate.
