In June 2014 the Beavers visited Studley Road Fire Station and met Fire Fighters Nye, Ashfield and ‘Tomo’ from White Watch. We had a great time as you can see! Thank you to all of White Watch. Spraying water video More spraying water! A quick escape video! Listening to the siren video
Snappity Snap! Photographers Badge!
The Beavers returned their rare piece of homework this week to finish the Photographers Activity Badge. To achieve this badge they had to: Show how to use a camera to take a good photograph. Create a scrapbook showing the different uses of photographs (eg news, advertising, art and so on). Take ten or more photos and show these to …
Outdoor Cooking
The Beavers got stuck, (quite literally with the dough), into cooking as part of their Outdoor Challenge Badge this week! Yummy dampers were made, some with a centre of a sausage and those with a sweet tooth, smothered in chocolate sauce instead. Paddy arrived early to ensure the coals were just right to cook the dough over hot embers. A bit of …
Who remembers Admiralty?
I found this post on the Bedfordshire Scouts website, some great pictures from our Admiralty Inspection last year. Take a look!
Construction: with a twist!
The Beavers were set a challenge, they had to work in groups to build the highest tower in a very tight 15 minute time frame. The twist was, they could only use marshmallows and spaghetti! The even bigger challenge was not eating the marshmallows until the towers had been judged and measured! Would they be able to take on the …
Group Camp at Phasel’s Wood: May 2014

Thank you Allan We had to conduct our own experiments to see what made a film canister lid pop off the fastest, when the canister was filled with water and a vitamin c tablet…. was it more or less water and tablets? There was …
Admiralty Practice
I apologise that this is a little late…. Before we had the real Admiralty inspection, we had a practice one that involved preparing ourselves for the real deal! Even though we know we’re a very good Group, the Beavers wanted to make sure they had done everything they could to make sure we passed the inspection and impressed the Inspecting …
Easter Fun!
A favourite activity of many, the Beavers got creative with shredded wheat, chocolate and mini eggs! There is only one outcome with those ingredients and it tastes great! Everyone took it in turns to melt the chocolate, break up the shredded wheat and mix it all together…there was also a lot of spoon licking at the end as well! Hope …
