Giggles, teamwork.. and polishing!
On 2 October 2025, our Caythorpe Beavers swapped their neckers for dusters and headed to St Vincent’s Church for a very special visit — and a bit of elbow grease!
Led by curiosity and kindness, the Beavers were warmly welcomed by Reverend Geraldine Pond, who shared stories about the church and its role in the community. Each Beaver wrote down three things they were thankful for, and one lucky top pick from each was read aloud by our Young Leaders. Reverend Geraldine then said a heartfelt prayer, thanking the Beavers for their thoughtfulness and energy.
But the adventure didn’t stop there…
With the Scarecrow Trail just around the corner, our Beavers rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into cleaning and dusting the church — transforming it into a gleaming space ready for visitors. There were giggles, teamwork, and a few very enthusiastic polishers!
And on Saturday, some of our Beavers returned with the Cubs to run games and activities to raise money for the church. From Splat the Rat to laughter-filled challenges, the young people helped bring in over £500 — a fantastic result for a fantastic cause.
💬 A Big Thank You
To Reverend Geraldine, our Young Leaders, the Cubs, and every Beaver who took part — your kindness, teamwork, and community spirit made this event truly special.
