Group Fun Day - 19th June

There is to be Fun Day on the playing fields on Saturday 19th June.

This is the next big fund raiser after the show on 6 March, our Group committee will do a BBQ, teas etc and a possible raffle and other stalls. Sandra, our GSL, has asked all the sections, to run some games/activities, some that we could charge for and others that would be free for example a Tug of War or some Wacky Races.

The estimated cost for the new hut is about £165,000 - so far this year we have earned £981 from the Wild and Woolly, £295 from the Jumble Sale, a grant of £1340 to cover the planning application and £146 from advance ticket sales for the Show.

So, let's all look forward to having a Fun Day!

A half-term project!

The Creative badge

To get the badge you must complete the following:
· explain/know about a creative activity
· take part in the creative activity
· tell the Colony about the activity

Examples of creative activities include:
· putting on a show or form of entertainment
· . . . .

For The Show on Saturday 6th March the Beavers need to be dressed as bugs, so could you, during half term, think about
· how to dress all in black, or brown, or green – school plimsolls would be good too
· making a head dress that looks like antennae, perhaps using an old hair band as the basis,
· making an extra pair of legs (or two pairs if you want to be a spider), perhaps using a pair of tights stuffed with rags or tissue, the feet could be egg boxes


If you would like help from the Leaders then please let me know!

Remeber the 5th of November?

Do you remember when we got together last November to celebrate Bonfire Night?

Elis Matthews from Scouting magazine was with us, with a photographer . . . ring any bells?

Well, in the most recent issue of Scouting there is a piece about "our place" that Sandra wrote after that evening, and a photo of two of our better looking Scouts . . . but Halle and Jack are on the cover of the Beaver supplement, and Charlie (W), Mason, Benjamin and Peter are inside!

The smell of the greasepaint!

For the next few weeks we'll spend at least part of each evening working on our part in the Show, learning lines or perhaps thinking about costumes.

We'll need to ask Mums (not forgetting us Dads!) for old tights, bits of cardboard, old sheets, Alice bands or deely boppers - things wot we need to become bugs!

I'll try to get our lines uploaded here so that you can remember what it is you need to say, and who says what before or after you so you can be a mate and help.

Remember, if you've any good jokes let Akela know!

See you soon,

Jonathan
