A new year and a fabulous start! Some of our Beaver Scouts attended the "We're all in this Together" Show at King Georges Hall at the end of January to celebrate the end of the Centenary Year of Scouting. The show was sensational and the cast, which included some of Baxenden’s finest, was fantastic! The focus for this term has been developing team building skills. The Beavers have enjoyed activities, crafts and games that have encouraged them to work together and gain as many stars as they can for their own lodges.
We’ve also been busy working towards their challenge awards and this had included oodles of fun picking up Maltesers with chop sticks, food tasting and decorating biscuits with squishy icing!!
Baxenden took part in the District Beaver Akeema competition on the 9th February 2008. We had such a good turn out that we entered two teams! They certainly appeared to enjoy all the events, and excelled at curling!! Unfortunately, neither team won the trophy, but they did receive certificates for taking part.
Thanks to Michelle Thornton for helping us out with Baxenden’s base at such short notice – you really where a star!!!
Thanks Also to Martin Rothwell for escorting one of our teams round the competition and being so supportive !!
