What a busy month we have had!!!

We….

Had a halloween party!

Wrote postcards to veterans!

Sorted 1000s of bottles at the Bottle Drive!

Marched in the Remembrance Day Parade and laid a wreath at the Cenotaph!  This was particularly moving: a veteran came and personally thanked the boys and girls in our group for continuing to remember the wars and the people who have fought for their country. How special for the children to learn that what they do really matters to people.

Then, last week we did Brainstorming for what kinds of activities the beavers like to do, and then had fun with creative building – K’Nex and a Marble path game that required the beavers to work together!

The weather has taken a turn for the worse. So, this week, we’ll be indoors having a Pirate Night (one of the themes the Beavers have thought up themselves).

6 of our new Beaver Scouts were invested this week.  They came in their uniforms and recited the Promise, Law and Motto.  They looked very fine indeed with their new orange neckers, and we look forward to seeing all our Beavers wearing full uniforms every session henceforth.

Did we have fun at Investiture? Of course! We had a proper inspection before they cut out their tails from felt. We did the Active Story of Scouts, and then played a runabout game recognizing the flags of some of the countries where young Scouts are located: Beavers in Canada, Sunguru (rabbits) in Kenya, Kabu (cubs) in Tanzania, Bunnies in India, Grasshoppers in Hong Kong, and Joeys in Australia.
