For their first meeting back after Christmas, the Scouts put their heads together and came up with some ideas for them to build using electronics; a floor piano and a red-green light game. The leaders also came up with a new skills game to practice knots and work together as a team, which looks like a lot of fun.

With these Scouts working together, who knows what the project they plan will be?This group of Scouts is drawing their plans out for an electronic floor piano.

Tuesday night, the Cubs got stuck into building their choice of either an Airfix Spitfire model or an Airfix Jaguar model. That glue is strong smelling stuff! Thankfully no one glued their fingers together and their models look great!

Repeat after me: don't glue your fingers together. The table of Cubs are hard at work gluing their Airfix models together and hopefully not their fingers.The Cubs are focused on their task and following the kit instructions carefully.This Cub is showing off his built Spitfire model. He's done a good job.

This Thursday, the Beavers learned about the history of currency, what we used to trade before coins existed and where the first coin was from. Throughout the evening, the Beavers were given the option to have a sweet immediately, or wait and get extra sweets at the end of the night. There were a few who couldn't resist the instant gratification, but most of the Beavers held out and were rewarded with double the amount at the end. Far better returns than most banks offer!
