Trees, dancing, and more challenges
Today, the beavers made Centenary Trees. This involved them drawing around their hands on paper, cutting them out, and then writing about people they care and think about in the hands. These were then attached to a paper tree trunk, forming the leaves of a tree. This is a nice craft project for them, and encourages them to think of the people they care about!
For the cubs we had hoped to have instructors come from a folk dancing club, but they couldn’t make it. However, the ever-resourceful Jacqui produced music and moves, and taught the cubs line dancing. They enjoyed this greatly!
The scouts finished off their Challenge 100 things, with a mapreading challenge and the creation of as many birdfeeders (lard, nuts, and seeds melted together and poured into a cub with a hanging string) as they could - which we’ll be selling for Akany Avoko!
