Visit to the Mayor at Accrington Town Hall

Beavers visited the Mayor at Accrington Town Hall and were able to try on the ceremonial robes and hat.

Three Beavers were presented with their Chief Scouts Bronze Awards by the Mayor. The Chief Scout Bronze award is the highest award which Beavers can achieve and is earned by completing all 6 Challenge badges during their time in Beavers.
    

Promise Challenge and Faith Badge


Beavers visited All Saints Chuch, Clayton le Moors last week to complete their Promise Challenge and Faith Badges. Rev John kindly did a quiz with Beavers to test their knowledge about the church.  

We have been incorporating a little into each meeting over the Spring Term including a log chew, taking part in an investiture cermeony, writing a prayer, singing a hymn and joining church parade.  

Visit from the Police

Beavers were visited in force by the police recently. The local constabulary must of been tipped off about the little monkeys as four officers turned up to talk to Beavers about road safety as part of the Beaver Scout Safety Badge.
Beavers took part in scenarios about what they would do if approached by strangers and were also able to look around a police car and CCTV van which were also brought along.
