Higher than any Beaver has been before

Kennet District Beaver mascot "Bobby" has been trekking through the Himalayas and has seen Everest and many other giant mountains covered in snow and ice.  Despite the lack of trees and rivers Bobby enjoyed his trip and commented that Beaver fur beats any of the current hi tech equipment available for extreme conditions. Bobby had  Assistant Beaver Leader Tony Higgs from the 3rd Newbury Scouts Beaver Colony stuck to his back during the whole trekking trip who says he is sticking with the modern gear !

Beavers get Crafty in Maidenhead

Beaver Scouts throughout Maidenhead District converged on Boyn Hill and Altwood Scout HQ on a Sunday morning in November to join in the District Beaver Scout Craft Competition. The classes of entry were divided between six year olds and seven year olds.

Beaver Scouts were able to enter two items in the competition and could choose from a variety of activities which included hats, puppets, collages, junk craft, printing and design. There was also a category for colonies to enter where every member could take part. This year the task was to build a model village. The winning colony was 21st(Mon) Maidenhead who meet at Cox Green. The picture shows the winners of the junk craft – model train category.

First Sleep Over for Slough Beavers

Slough District Beavers held their first District Sleepover at Southall Activity Centre.  27 Beaver Scouts participate with 7 Beavers old enough to attend the whole weekend and sleepover.

On Saturday the Beavers took part in various bases to complete their outdoor challenge. The bases were: - Tracking, Packing a rucksack, Country code, Collage pictures using objects of nature, Biscuit decorating and Making a healthy meal.  The evening ended with a camp fire.
