December 2007

The Beaver Scouts have been as busy as ever this last month with lots of special events, but they’ve managed to squeeze in their Hobbies badge, and gave us a great presentation of some of their extra curricula activities which was thoroughly enjoyable.

We also invited one of the leaders from a Scout Group in Darwen to give us an entertaining evening of unique warm-ups and campfire songs! Thanks Mick!!



The Christmas Experience at Bowley was yet another successful event which the boys really enjoyed albeit with a couple of surprises on the way. Thank you to Andrea and Craig for undertaking the tour for us with the group, to enable Tracy and me to participate in the Experience for the week!


The Christmas party went with a bang. We had Jacobs Join which the parents kindly provided, traditional Christmas games and lots of little cowboys running round with very loud gun’s, needless to say they had a great time! Leaders had headaches all round!!

To finish off the year in true Hyndburn Beaver Scout style, Baxenden joined in the trip to Blackpool Tower Circus Panto as a special day to celebrate the end of our Centenary Year.

Many thanks to our Tracy also (ADC Beavers) who arranged this trip for the whole of Hyndburn (111 Beaver Scouts attended), you did a sterling job, and it all went fantastically well! Everybody who attended also received a unique commemorative badge for the occasion.

Last but certainly not least, thank you to Susan, for all her help throughout the year, and for the fabulous craft activities that she provides on a regular basis for us.
