Swedish Camp - June 2010

What a blast we had!  Beavers got the full Swedish treatment, playing traditional Swedish Games like Lutefisk and the Dhala Toss, with meatballs the obvious choice for dinner.  We also had another opportunity to work towards the Everton Beaver Challenge with the Slippery Slide and Zip wire on the go.  Traditionally, our evening was rounded off with a sing song round the camp fire and then to bed to recharge our batteries for the following day.  The weather was on our side and allowed us to do everything - we even had our water fight, and what a water fight it was!

It's the Summer Holidays! - June 2010

The last session of the term is week commencing 14th June 2010.  We'll start back again after the September Weekend.

We've got another camp booked for 27th June for Beavers who were out on Parade.  The theme is Sweden as we are sending 4 scouts to the Jamboree in Sweden next year.  We've got loads of swedish games organised and ikea's not in site - although ABBA might be.  Don't forget your water guns!

Beaver & Cub Day - June 2010

Over 450 Beavers and Cubs from our district turned out at Everton to take part in more activities than ever!  From archery to bouncy castles, from the coconut shy to pancake making, from the zip slide to the new Low Rope assault course, we did it all!  We even had the chance to try out the Zorb Ball!  Taking part in all these activities contributes towards achievement of the Everton Beaver Chellenge badge.

District Parade  - June 2010

We had a great turn out at this year's District Parade where we walked from Greenock Academy to the Westburn Church.  All Beavers were very smart and did our section proud!

Group Camp - May 2010

This year's Group Camp was a huge success with Beavers from Inverkip and Wemyss Bay taking part in activities with the Big Boys!  We were zip sliding, crate climbing, slippery sliding, up Jacob's Ladder, trying out the Low Rope and even played human table foosball which was great fun.

The day was rounded off with our traditional camp fire including the essential songs and then to bed with a midnight feast!  A great time was had by all.

Fitness badge

The Beavers have been working on their fitness badge lately. The things that they have done have included skipping, long jump and the vertical jump.

The Beavers have also been filling in a food diary so that they can record what they eating and drinking over the course of the week. All of this is to determine whether or not they actually achieve the badge.
