If you’ve got some cardboard laying around, some scissors and poster paint, have a go at making some unique, original art. Have a go and bring your finished creation back to the hall once we’re open again and we’ll have a fantastic gallery! The bigger, the better. Don’t forget to take photos and share them with us (below!). Credit: Facebook from Domissori (France) I haven’t linked it directly as some of the comments were not nice – some people!
Neckers are amazing things. As a Scout, they are our identity, we wear them to signify what group we belong to. There are also lots of other uses including using as a Headband Facemask Bandana Tourniquet Sling … the list goes on. This post is to do something that is a bit of fun with your necker. See my video below are post your videos back to us.
Beavers, I have been really happy to see all your efforts at the activities for remote scouting. I have been learning too! I took part in an online class to build a game in Scratch.

If you don’t have much computer time, maybe you could sketch characters instead. Rob Update: I created this game in scratch, using the […]
Looking for something to challenge yourself with? Ordnance Survey have created some puzzle books to assist with your young persons map reading skills.

Hi Beavers This week, we thought you’d like a go at some challenges. 1 & 2 can be completed using Lego or anything else you’ve got around the house. 1/ Make a noughts and crosses game. You will need a base board and bricks to make 9 squares. You can either use coloured bricks in two colours to represent the noughts and crosses or mini figures (but make sure you know who is using each figure!). Challenge someone else in your household to a game. 2/ Make a marble maze. You will need a large baseboard and different sized bricks. Make a wall round the edge of the board to make sure the marble doesn’t fall off the edge! Then […]
Weekly update #3 Dear parents/carers Another week passes and I continue to be amazed at the efforts and attitude of our members as we progress through these challenging times.

As always, please contact us if you have any issues with subs. Next, have you […]
