Beavers

Saturday 26th October saw eleven Beavers undertake a Halloween themed sleepover. A number of skeletons and vampires arrived at the HQ at 11am. Their first task was to decorate Halloween themed cookies, followed by making sandwiches for their own packed lunch.
The morning hike, saw the Beavers undertake some road safety, water safety, and railway safety followed by the picnic they had prepared earlier. Upon returning to the HQ, other activites included pitching of tents, games, and of course Pumpkin Carving.
