What did you do on a sunny Sunday?
Beavers at 7th went to Bristol Zoo Project and had a fantastic day out…..
We’re so glad you enjoyed your day, do visit us again!
What a marvellous day out to the zoo our group had today. It was a pleasure to see you having so much fun with others from around the district and you were impeccably behaved!
A special thanks to the Cubs who helped with the promise renewal proceedings. Everyone I spoke to said how well you all acted / carried out your parts - WELL DONE! 👏 ⚜️
Thanks so much for taking care of them…Sammy had so much fun & loved seeing the bears especially!
What did you do last night?
Well, the Beavers at 7th welcomed a new addition and did litter picking within our community, learning about what it means to drop litter and how it damages our environment and our nature (including animals and bugs).
It was really quite amazing to see how dedicated they were and how clean it was left afterwards….
Thanks also to the parents who helped….😁
Many congratulations to 6 members of our Squirrels team who were formally invested into our Drey as adult volunteers tonight.
Welcome to Oak, Beech, Chestnut, Blackthorn, Willow, Yew and Maple!
🍁 🍃 🍂 🌿 ⚜️ 🐿️
Enjoy the many adventures that await you…
What did you do tonight?
Well, the Beavers of 7th travelled to the Mall gardens to do a spot of Easter Egg hunting…..they caught quite a few too!!
Then they put them on a spoon and raced with them.
We then chose Beaver of the month and said goodbye to Hummingbird, who’s off to have a little sprog of her own, and we said goodbye to one of our Beavers who swam up to become a Cub.
Gonna miss you both….😢
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
The Squirrels and Beavers had a marvellous time out and about doing an Easter Egg Hunt at the West Mall Gardens.
The evening was made even more special as the Squirrels gained their first 2 activity badges - their Super Chef and Being Active badges for all their hard work this term.
The Beavers earned some badges too and two of them gained their Chief Scout’s Bronze Awards which is a fantastic achievement!
Sadly, we said a fond farewell to Hummingbird who leaves us to start her maternity leave and one of our Beavers swam up to the Cub Pack too.
Have a great Easter everyone! ⚜️🐣
Looked a great evening Mike Keefe
The Scouts had a great last session of the term climbing at Crazy Climb! 🧗
Well done for all your hard work this term and thanks to all our amazing leaders for supporting them in throughout. ⚜️
An honour once again for some of our Beavers to have a sleepover at our city’s cathedral.
7th joined 43rd and 77th for a night of exclsuvely exploring of the cathedral after hours, sandwiches, vegetables and fruit….brownies and a cake (provided by two of our Beavers (aided by their wonderful parents), then a film, hot chocolate and marsmallows, bed, hide and seek before the cathedral opened, breakfast and a few games…
Massive thanks to Sarah Jenkinson for making this happen and her amazing knowledge of the cathedral and thanks too to all those that helped…
All did brilliantly and slept really well….
If you’re between 6-8 years, feel free to sign up and take part too (adult helpers are greatly appreciated too 😁)….
Update: The sleepover raised £137.35 which we were able to donate to the Cathedral Trust as a thank you and in recognition of preserving this historic building for future generations.
🎶 If you went down to the woods last night, you were in for a big surprise! 🎶
Why? Because 21 happy, excitable and carefree Cubs spent their session team building, making dens and having a throughly good time.
Interesting techniques used by all. Our visiting Scout on the night was very impressed and gave some high scoring marks!
Well done Cubs! 🪵🍂🌳
The Squirrels had a fab evening using all their senses to learn about Fruit and Vegetables and how they grew. Well done to the team for putting together a great programme idea that went incredibly smoothly. 🍇 🍈 🍆 🥒
Very impressed Mike Keefe👍
‘Have You Filled a Bucket today’ is a book based on sharing kind words and deeds with others. If you make someone happy or share love to others, you fill up their invisible bucket which everybody holds! 🌟🪣
The Beavers had an evening recapping on their promises and what they could all do to ‘fill up’ each others buckets whilst at Beavers but also at home and school etc. later they made Good Deed diaries so they can record all the kind actions they do for others over a week. 🌈 ⭐️ ❤️
As part of this months Beaver activities, Beavers have been working towards their animal badge.
This involves finding out about animals, their habitats and what they eat.
They’ve explained about their own pets and drawn pictures of pets they’d like…
They learned about, and met, a Siberian Husky named Naya and found out how they adapt to the environment and also how a team of sled dogs saved a town in Nome, Alaska USA in 1925.
Beavers are currently completing diaries on what they are doing to look after animals this month too….
(oh, and they played a few animal related games too….😁)….
Stiles Week 2: Tricky start to the week when the lorry delivering 20 tons of gravel got well and truly stuck on the track by the campsite entrance 🙈 Farmers came to the rescue with a ginormous tractor to pull it free. By the end of the week we had the new hut base prepared and ready for concreting in the coming days, cleared the ash from the fire pit and got the tatty, leaky storage container moved and concrete pads in situ for our (yet to arrive) new storage containers. Also found a funny old sign in the hedgerow that used to be on display at the campsite entrance 😆
Kim’s Game, phonetic alphabet and radios, cracking codes… Some of the activities the Cubs took part in this week. A Cub was invested at the end of the session too. ⚜️
The Squirrels made origami paper boats and learnt about which things can sink or float.
Cyril the Squirrel even went swimming with one of his friends this week too! 💦 🏊♀️
Some of our Scouts paddle boarding on the River Yeo in Congresbury this morning 💦 🛶
Stiles Week 1. The old hut is cleared, ground prepared and roofing from the toilet block removed. A few rodent nests discovered in the process! We’ve got a monster pile of timber for bonfires now 🔥
Sounds as if you are all having fun. I'm sure it's changed a lot over the years, it was pretty basic when 133rd. Was given it back in the 60's. I'd love to see what your doing to it now. We had a lot of fun out there.
This week the Cubs learnt all about International Scouting and Jade’s exciting trip to the South Korean Jamboree. 🇰🇷 Despite the jamboree not exactly going to plan, she still had a marvellous time getting to know Scouts from all over the world and badge / neckerchief swapping.
At the end of the evening, Jade was formally invested as a member of the Cubs Team. ⚜️
