In preparation the Leaders and the Beavers Scouts designed their own "Baxenden" T-shirts, so that they would stand out in the crowd, additionally, we all had a "paw" in designing one for Jennifer, our District Commissioner which we presented to her after the opening ceremony!
The programme for the weekend was outstanding, with activities for every age and ability, some of these included:- dunk tank, mobile climbing wall, inflatable rainbow slide, jousting, aerial runway, displays by the emergency services, kayaking, planetarium, wet sponge throwing, target shooting and many indoor crafts. 
All participants received a birthday tea and celebrated together with games including a giant conga and pass the parcel! Evening celebrations began with districts holding there own camp fires and traditional songs and prayer,
followed the main event with an amazing display of fireworks, music and dance, mini shows starring beavers, cubs and scouts and a poignant selection of photos that had been captured throughout the day. The atmosphere was electric, and every camper will receive a souvenir DVD of the weekend celebrations to keep as
a memento of the fantastic occasion!
