2nd Sandhurst Beavers Awarded their Chief Scout Bronze Award

The Beavers at 2^nd Sandhurst have been working very hard over the past year or so and the result was 8 Beavers being awarded their Chief Scout Bronze award recently.

All the boys have gained many activity badges and were very proud to have earned the top award. They also got a certificate signed by Bear Grylls the Chief Scout.

The leaders helped them to celebrate by providing cake and lemonade.

 

 

 

 

District Beaver craft morning

 

On Saturday 5^th December 9^th Bracknell scout HQ became a hive of activity with Beavers coming from Bracknell Sandhurst and Crowthorne to join together to have a morning of fun, making Xmas crafts.

All the crafts were prepared by Erica Malone , who although no longer district Beaver leader gave up her time to come along and help us make loads of exciting things.

We made reindeer photo frames with our picture in, candy cane mice and reindeer, several decorations to hang on the tree and not forgetting the popular penguin and snowman poo in gift bags! to name but a few.

The crafts were also enjoyed by the leaders who asked if we could do it again without the beavers !

All the children left with bags of goodies to show their parents (or maybe keep secret until Christmas).

Beaver Fun Day

 

86 Beavers and assorted leaders, helpers and parents came along to Earleywood camp site for a day of fun on Sunday June 7^th.

We were VERY lucky with the weather and just got cleared away before the rain came.

There were about 20 bases for the children to visit including crate stacking (always a queue) tent erecting, making (and eating) edible bugs and face painting, another favourite.

A huge worm was found during the bug hunt, we lit fires, made kites, and meteors. I witnessed a meteor shower after lunch!

We learnt how to follow tracking signs left by Shere Khan and some of the leaders were caught having a go at some of the bases too.

We finished the afternoon with a camp fire. We didn’t get to sit down for long though as they had us up doing actions. Some of the leaders seemed to be enjoying it as much as the children.

This is just a small selection of the photographs taken during the day. They will all be put on the web site as soon as possible. (Some need to be lightened a little.
