Another successful evening as the cubs do their first part of their communicator badge, involving decoding secret messages, semaphores, morse code, text messages and emails.

We celebrated Pancake Day in a traditional way – the Beavers had fun measuring out, cracking eggs and mixing up the batter ready for cooking pancakes. We were thrilled to welcome our Scout Leader to our Beaver colony – he set up the burners and cooked the pancakes for the children. I think putting on … Read more
