Grove Beaver Scout Activity Day
The Silver Beavers from Grove Scout Group took part in an Activity Day at Youlbury Scout Activity Centre, Boar’s Hill, Oxford on Saturday 8th March. Luckily, the threatened bad weather held off until after dark, when they were all tucked up in bed! The Beaver Scouts enjoyed activities from making fliers with lollipop sticks, changing the colour of white carnations to blue and green, making a model from Lego/Duplo, archery, learning about woodland conservation and planting yet more trees in the Chapel area. This was then followed by Crate Stacking, the favourite activity of the day, following a laid string trail blindfolded amongst the trees and the last activity of the day, tug of war.
The Beaver Scouts were delighted to be able to earn their Adventure and Explore Activity Badges, along with several elements towards their new Beaver Scout Challenge Badges. Also to go home with a certificate of attendance and a Youlbury Scout Activity Centre Badge, which were all presented to them by Janet Green, our Group Scout Leader.
A few of the older Beaver Scouts stayed on for a sleepover overnight in the Gulf Building and also enjoyed some camp fire songs before bedtime and a scavenger hunt in the morning before leaving for home. They also went home with the Adventure and Explore Activity Badges, Staged Activity Badge Nights Away 1, Beaver Sleepover Badge, a certificate of attendance, a Youlbury Scout Activity Centre Badge and the Creative Challenge Badge.
We all had a very busy energetic weekend and thanks go to Melanie McKean, ABSL, Caroline Smith, who managed the kitchen and cooked for us, Brian Stovold, adult helper and Fiona Stovold, BSL who organised the day and sleepover. Also thanks to Rob Lagden, Simon Atkin and Mark Thomas who came along for the day and helped out, and also the staff at the Scout Activity Centre who made things such fun!
