The year is moving on moving on at a rate of knots and the sections are enjoying their activities, particularly Pancake Day with at least one of the Beavers loving the strawberry sauce.
Our Beavers have also had a visit from a hearing impaired dog and learnt about how they are trained to respond to alarms so they can alert their owners. The boys had to be very sensitive to the dog and sit quietly at the start of the session which they just about managed! There was also a Burns night special that the section enjoyed.
There have also been lots of games for the Beavers, with favourites being Bomb, Snowball fight and Volleyball (a special indoor type!).
Beavers on a Monday night are looking for volunteers to help out their leaders. All are welcome to lend a hand even if you don’t have a Beaver in the section.
Cooking has been a key theme this month with Cubs making pancakes and stir fry and Scouts have been consolidating and finishing badges, making candles and Roller Racing. Four Scouts are getting close to their Gold award.
Explorers have had Jujitsu, Bowling, and Curling sessions
We held another very successful quiz on 10th February at the Scout Hut. We had an excellent turn out and another fantastic set of questions to keep the grey matter working. Well done to team “Superior Household Management” who came out victorious, just pipping “Drink While You Think”. All great fun and £309 was raised to help out the group.
