Week 21: March 3–6 2025

Monday night, the Scouts got to make pancakes a day early! They whisked up their batter, and cooked up multiple pancakes each using the group's new ceramic pans and induction hobs. The new wiring in the hut (courtesy of Hi Electrical) made it that the group can have 6 induction hobs going at once, which made cooking pancakes a lot faster this year! The Scouts looked like they enjoyed every bite (and so did the leaders!).

A group of Scout girls measures out the ingredients for their pancake batter. Looks like this Scout leader has found a Scout willing to make him a pancake and he's scoffing it as quick as he can!This Scout is carefully whisking his pancake mix.These Scouts are cooking up pancakes in advance of Shrove Tuesday. They look tasty!

Tuesday was Pancake Day, aka Shrove Tuesday, so guess what the Cubs got up to? That's right, they made pancakes! This year, the Cubs even made their own batter, and were pretty proud of themselves for making their own pancakes from scratch.

This Cub is being very careful as he prepares to flip his pancake.It's this Cub's first time making pancakes at Cubs. Looks like he's doing a good job!The Cubs are choosing what to top their pancakes with. Lemon and sugar? Golden syrup? Chocolate spread?

Thursday was World Book Day, so the Beavers showed up in their costumes, made origami bookmarks and designed a new cover for their favourite book. They took a lot of time decorating their bookmarks, adding ears and tails, as well as drawing faces on them. They looked really great, and hopefully will be used to read a lot of books! At the end of the evening, two new Beavers were invested by their Lodge Leaders and welcomed into the Beaver Colony.

These Beavers are adding ears to their bookmarks and one is also adding a horn.These two Beavers are always careful when they're crafting.These two Beavers have decided to make their promise and become part of the Beaver Colony.
