Previously:

Beavers

Last week all three colonies were outside the scout hut, lighting fires with a flint and steel and cooking s’mores. Everyone went home full of sweet stuff and smelling of wood smoke.

Cubs

Alegre – After a fun game of dodgeball Alegre worked towards the international badge. Working in four teams each worked on creating a quarter of the World Scout Badge from balls of tissue paper and white paper straws.

Bella Vista enjoyed learning about online safety last week. This is going towards a badge sponsored by Nominet about building friendships and living healthily. The cubs completed a piece of artwork, learning about themselves and sharing this with their friends and the leaders. Everyone then discussed how much of this information should be shared online. The young leaders ran an energetic game of hockey and Christopher was invested. Welcome to Bella Vista, Christopher!

Raptors had an amazing night at the Penistone library. A massive thank you for stopping open later for us. The Cubs finished most of their book reader badge. We had a combination of world book day outfits and onesies…  It turns out we have some real bookworms in raptors and were pleased to welcome Heidi from our waiting list on her 9th Birthday and celebrated Young Leader, Will’s 17th Birthday!

Scouts

Enigma worked on elements of their Skills Challenge Badge last week. Each scout learnt to sew on a button and use an iron. They also learnt about the insides of a plug, how to wire it, and how to fit a lightbulb. After that, they reviewed progress on their Personal Challenge Badge and then played a new ‘barrels game’. Before lowering the flag, they invested their newest recruit, Archie!

Wibbles tried out their painting skills with Warhammer figures.

Viernes invested 8 scouts, played the line game and finished working on our wood carvings! Great night for all.

Explorers

Scorpions went to the golf driving range and managed to work their way through more than 1,500 golf balls! All had a great time, with some keen explorers showing excellent skills.

Have a great week!
