Beavers Fun Day

We had a lot of fun today at the Beavers Fun Day. Plenty of activities from climbing to archery to caving and more! And the added bonus that it did not rain!

Here are the beavers working on a newly created badge. Learning all about endangered animals and making animal masks. Also making a water filter and learning about the difficulty in finding clean water in the 3rd world. The scouts 'Million Hands Project' helps to mobilise half a million scouts to look at what they can do practically to help with issues such as these.

Beavers in the Billericay Gazette

Some of the Beavers and a few cubs hosted the Methodist Church monthly community lunch. They played chef and cleaners as they laid on the lunch for members of the community. Jacket potatoes and a pudding were on offer for £4 per head. They were very pleased to raise £250 for their chosen charity of Hamelin House. One of the managers from Hamelin House came to collect the cheque last Wednesday. What's more this was all documented with their picture in the paper and a great article in last weeks Billericay Gazette! Well done all.

What is scouting?

Scouting offers challenge and adventure to 400,000 young people aged 6-25 in the UK. We believe in helping our Members fulfil their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves. We're working to make Scouting available to all and we're passionate about what we do.

Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment, and have their first taste of responsibility. We give young people experiences they’ll never forget.

The sort of adventure Scouting offers is the chance to experience something different and the opportunity to challenge yourself. When a Beaver Scout wakes up the morning
after a sleepover, or Cub Scout has just got over her fear of heights by completing her first abseil - that’s adventure.

In Scouting, we provide over 200 activities from abseiling to zorbing (that’s falling out of the sky in a foam ball in case you were wondering). If we don’t have an instructor who can help we can normally find someone who can. But Scouting
isn’t just about activities for their own sake. We encourage our young people to feel the buzz of the challenge and then reflect on what that means. Did they have fun? Do they feel more confident? Would they do it again?

All this is made possible by the efforts of 100,000 voluntary adult leaders. With award winning training and one-to-one support, we make sure that each one of our volunteers gets to make best use of their skills and talents. It’s something different from the norm, and that why a lot of people like it. In
fact, it’s what’s made us the largest co-educational youth Movement in the country.
