Map reading and shelter building, #skillsforlife
On Sunday our Beavers had an exciting day at Duke’s Covert Scout Campsite, learning new skills including map reading and shelter building.
Spending the day at the campsite alongside our Scouts, the Beavers were cosily dressed for the day ahead. The day was all about having a go at new things, in a new environment, and trying their best. Not only did they navigate their way around the whole campsite (while avoiding the Scouts, who were playing Monopoly in the woods!), they also lit fires (under close supervision) and built a shelter. They even tried it for size!
Mealtimes matter in Scouting, and the Beavers enjoyed a hearty packed lunch with hot chocolate that was heated over the fire. A few toasted marshmallows kept them going throughout the afternoon to the end of the session.
If you’d like join the fun and be a part of our friendly Group, learning loads of exciting skills for life along the way, please get in touch. We currently have spaces for girls and boys aged 6 to 10 in our Beaver and Cub sections. Please email 1stcaythorpe@granthamscouts.org.uk and we’ll be straight back in touch!
