The Scouts were led by one of their own this week, as Gabe taught them how to make a variety of Christmas origami decorations. They also made dot paintings, copying the style of Aboriginal art in Australia. The Scouts certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves. At the end of the evening, they were given the badges they'd earned this term and the medals for the shooting competition were awarded. Well done to the winners!
The Cubs had a full night on Tuesday, squeezing in all the badgework they could into one evening! They located services on a map of the local area, talked about renewable energy and played a related game, before wrapping the evening up with more games. The Howlers won the firelighting competition this week. Well done!
Thursday evening, the Beavers got to make simple water filters using cotton wool, sand and gravel. It's always a popular and memorable activity with the young people. It's amazing how the filthy, muddy water turns into crystal clear water, if the Beavers build them right!
