Sunday was our annual Harvest Parade at St Christopher's Church. For three years, we've encouraged the young people to bring in donations for the Food Bank to coincide with the Harvest service, and our families have been generous. Around the same time, we brought back parading from the hut to the church. The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts made a quick march of it and we arrived at the church sooner than expected!
For many of our Beavers, this was their first parade and they weren't quite sure what to expect from the service, either. There was a craft activity as part of the service which our young people got stuck into (some more literally than others), creating a planet of sorts.
Overall, the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts behaved themselves well and we're proud of them. It's not easy to sit still and quiet through a talk, or to try and sing songs you're not familiar with.
