Investiture Meeting October 16

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.

Campfire Theme Meeting

Posted on October 11, 2014 by | Comments Off on Campfire Theme Meeting

In honour of Fire Prevention Week and the upcoming Burnaby Area Beavers Campfire, we held a Campfire theme meeting.  After a rollicking game of Freeze Tag, we did three campfire related activities.

Edible Campfires helped the kids learn how to prepare a safe campfire area and how to arrange sticks and kindling for a good campfire. Plus, they got to enjoy a snack!

Then, we split into two groups and prepared skits for each other. Group 1 performed The Invisible Bench. Group 2 performed Bubble Gum In The Street.

Finally, we gathered in a circle and sang several camp songs. We sang Ging Gang Goolie, The Button Factory, and Alice the Camel.

Next week: Investiture! All the Beavers are instructed to wear their uniforms and be prepared to repeat the Promise, Law and Motto.
