End of Term!

How quickly we’ve come to the end of another term and the school year! The beaver scouts have worked really hard and had lots of fun working towards their “imagination” badge.

They built a “robot head” that they could use in a short performance of “Little Robots” at the end of term. This task culminated in a huge pile of recycled photocopying boxes (courtesy of Andrea) multitudes of rolls of tin foil and some very weird and wonderful looking models, but altogether some very happy children!!

We then undertook the arduous task of learning and preparing the “Little Robots” song with each Beaver having a small part to say(easier said than done believe me!).

Their final performance took place in the Lodge at Bowley Scout Camp in front of all their family and friends, and with over 40 people watching it was quite a daunting task! Needless to say, we were very proud of them!

We have tasked the beavers to undertake the final part of the badge over the 6 week holidays, which is to design and develop a “hot Wheels” car. We look forward to the array of models when we return in September (6th).

All guests joined us for an indoor Barbeque (thanks to Skip, Craig and Joseph who did all the cooking and washing!). Tracy co-ordinated a raffle to generate some money for the section and created a great display of photos we'd taken from the Centenary Camp, together with the Beaver Scouts personal year books for their families to see what they’ve been up to!

To close the meeting off, we presented Debbie, who has been a Colony Assistant over the last few years with a small gift to say thank you and good luck as she will be leaving with her family to go to the wonderful Oz – we wish her lots of luck and will miss her greatly!

We have had yet another enjoyable term of fun and games and I’m sure that both the beaver scouts and the leaders are looking forward to a long, well earned rest, ready for the new term in September.
