There’s still time to start these Birthday Challenges and remember, most of them also count as part of the balanced programme.

Please send in any good photos you have of Beavers taking part.

Falkirk District Beaver Birthday Bash

I was lucky to be able to share a great day with the Beavers in Falkirk District when they celebrated the 25th Birthday at the Falkirk Wheel.

There were about 130 Beavers enjoying lots of activities ranging from a Bouncy castle & slide, a magician and a trip along the canal, kindly donated by the Seagull Trust.

Leaders from throughout the District helped with running the activities & the Beavers all had a great time. Thanks to ADCs Elissa & Jackie for organising this.

Top Awards

BeaversMay2011_4.pngIt’s that time of year again when the Programme Team are keen to learn how many Bronze Awards you have presented to Beavers in your Colony within the last School year.

Your Group Scout Leader will shortly be receiving a request for this information so it would assist the process if you could have this information to hand.

We know in past years the information we have received from Districts has been incomplete so please help us celebrate the achievements of these young people by letting us know.

IT Staged Activity BadgeBeaversMay2011_5.png

This is one of the Activity Badges that is probably easier for Beavers to complete at home.

To aid Leaders in working with parents, why not send this worksheet home for Beavers to try Stage 1?

You can download the worksheet from the right-hand colum of this page.
