A great time was had by all at the Cubs and Beavers Campover, despite it being a bit wet and muddy for the first half of the weekend.

The Pirate themed camp involved a host of activities from flag making, raft building, semaphore signalling, shelter building, orienteering, hiking, fire lighting and not one but two camp fires.

Thanks to all the Cubs and Beavers for being so well behaved, and thanks to all the parents and adults who came along to help out.

All involved served a three course meal to over 15 people. As a result of everyone’s hard work we managed to raise over £100 (£30 of which was tips). Well done to all the young people who participated and a massive thanks to all who supported us on and in the lead up to the night.

All Beavers and Cubs were involved in the preparation and serving of the three course meal for parents, friends and relatives. Then they created personalised  thank-you cards to everyone who supported us.

All the Beavers achieved their cook activity badge. The Cubs, who learnt about food hygiene and food safety the week before, achieved their chef activity badge.
