What you’ve been up to The Treefellas and Loggers Colonies from the 1st Longham Beaver Scouts had a great time partying, playing

games and enjoying a picnic at Sandbanks in Dorset. For one Beaver, the day was extra

special. The lifeguards gave a

talk about safety, then presented

seven-year-old Adam with his

Stage 5 swimming badge. ‘Adam

is the only one in the Colony to

ever get a Stage 5,’ said Beaver

Scout Leader Bud Cherry. ‘The

lifeguards were amazed he had

completed all requirements for

the badge at his age.’

Deputy UK Commissioner for Programme Graeme Hamilton looks back to the future

Celebrations are in the air. This year saw Beaver Scouts celebrating 25 years

and 2012 marks ten years for Explorer Scouts and Scout Network. We

should ensure that the events and activities Beavers took part in translate

into increased growth and retention across the UK and the same for all

sections in the year ahead.

Programme and activities supportIt’s been almost a year since we changed the Headquarters support

structure for Programme and Activities. This is what we have achieved so far

in offering improved support:

• A focused core team addressing issues raised regularly by leaders and

supporters

• Project teams with a range of internal and external people to provide the

best outcomes for successful programme support

• A team of people who can provide Headquarters support for you locally

• Project management focus allowing us to work effectively across sectional

boundaries

• Increased opportunities to meet and hear from leaders and young people

The core team, under Alex Minajew’s leadership, has set course to offer the

best programme support possible to leaders and in this Olympic year, the

support will be right on track.

Something special Beaver Scouts from the 1st

Hook Scout Group were

television stars for the day when

they appeared in Something Special, shown on CBeebies.

The programme offers

parents and carers of children

with special needs ways of helping them develop

their language and communication skills. The

spotlight was on Emily who has successfully

integrated with the Colony. Beaver Scout leader,

Anne-Marie Howells said ‘Emily has a brilliant

time at Beavers. She joins in with everything and

has been on two sleepovers.

‘Joining Beavers has been one of the best

things that has happened to Emily,’ said her

mum, Shelly. ‘It’s helped her confidence

and given her the chance to do loads of

new activities.’

The inclusive nature of Scouting and the way

young people from all backgrounds, abilities and

faiths are welcomed was highlighted by

presenter Justin Fletcher alias ‘Mr Tumble’.

All on board The waves were breaking

against the sea wall and it

was blowing a gale. The 1st

Cromer Sea Scout Beaver

Colony were experiencing

the type of conditions the

crew of The Cromer Lifeboat,

Lester, would face when

manning the lifeboat in an emergency.

The visit was an honour for the Beaver Scouts

who are now known as the 1st Cromer Richard

Davies Beaver Scout Colony after the late

Coxswain, Richard Davies. The present Coxswain,

John Davies presented the Beavers with their

new name tapes. They were allowed to board

the lifeboat with launch crew member Rosie

Keating, Coxswain John and other members of

the crew.

Come together

Sometimes we need to do some good old fashioned public relations to

make the community aware that we are active and a part of their lives.

These activity ideas will help you promote the impact of Scouting on your

community.

Emma Wood helps you get involved

with your local community

COMMUNITY

COME DINE WITH USPop-up restaurantInvite local older people, or prominent members of the

community, to your headquarters for a pop-up

restaurant experience. Sunday lunchtime would be

ideal if it could be arranged.

Ask your Beaver Scouts for suggestions for a theme

and what type of food they think their customers would

like such as Caribbean, Chinese or fish dishes, keeping it

simple. Let them design and make the invitations and

decorations. Beavers can have active roles working in

teams, with an adult in charge, each looking after a

different element:

• Front of house/waiting

• Cooking

• Drinks

• Entertainment

The entertainment can take place during the meal

and could be sponsored to help pay for the restaurant.

Perhaps singing as many songs as possible in half an

hour or performing a dance.

You could tie this in with a visit to a local restaurant to

see what it looks like and how it is run before you run

your pop-up version.



SEASONAL ACTIVITIESChristmas biscuit salesBeavers will love making these tasty biscuits to sell as

Christmas gifts for people in their community.

To make about 40 biscuits you will need the following

ingredients and utensils:

100g light soft brown sugar

100g margarine

1 egg

230g plain flour

30g cornflour

2 tspn ground mixed spice

40 solid boiled sweets

star shaped cutters

fat drinking straws

ribbon

small round cutter (a bit bigger than the sweets)

baking trays

mixing bowls

spoons

sieves

forks

rolling pins

oven gloves

Method: • Heat the oven to 180C, 350F, gas mark 4

• Mix the sugar and margarine, getting rid of any lumps

• Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat and add

to the mixture

• Sift the flour, cornflour and mixed spice into the

mixture

• Mix everything together to form a ball of dough

• Sprinkle flour on the worktop and roll out the dough

to about 5mm thick

• Cut out the stars and put them on a greased baking

tray

• Make a hole, using the straw, at the top of the star

• Use the round cutter to cut a hole in the middle of

each star

• Put a boiled sweet into the hole in the middle of each

star shape

• Put tray in the oven for about 12 minutes and allow to

cool

• Attach ribbons through the hole

Design a box for your biscuitsCopy the template here onto stiff card (A4 or larger).

Cut out, fold and glue where indicated to form a

pyramid-shaped box which the Beavers can decorate.

Put the biscuits in the box, glueing or taping the last

side in place.

local issues

Outdoor decorationsUsing pieces of plywood (or buy pre-cut ones from craft

suppliers) cut out decorations for the Beaver Scouts to

decorate with paint and varnish. If you can get

permission, hang the decorations on the village or town

centre Christmas tree. If not, decorate a tree in the front

of your meeting place at Christmas or other times of

celebration.

Window decorationsAsk your Beaver Scouts to draw seasonal or general

Scouting designs on A4 paper and then photocopy

these onto acetate (clear OHP plastic sheets). Cut the

designs out and spray them lightly with glue. Ask your

local residential care home, library or community centre

if you can stick them onto their windows for a

particular period of time.

Beaver Scouts can go on a walk around their local area

and take photographs or make notes of things that

need fixing. These might include:

• dirty street signs

• broken street lamps

• broken benches/dirty bench plaques

• broken bins

• damaged paving

• overgrown walkways

Some councils run ‘adopt a street’ schemes where

individuals or local groups adopt streets and take some

responsibility for ensuring they are kept clean and tidy.

Perhaps your Colony could adopt the street your

meeting place is in.

Invite the local newspaper along to take

photographs to show Beaver Scouts caring for their

community. You may also like to send the photographs

to your local council. Obtain the necessary permissions

and ensure all safety precautions are taken before you

embark on a clean-up.

Remember that a great way to be a central part of

your community is to keep aware of what is going on

and taking part, such as:

• building a carnival float

• running a stall at a church or other local fair

• entering exhibits in a local horticultural or craft show

• having a stall at school open evenings

• getting involved in Remembrance Day Parades

• entering as a Colony in local competitions or art

exhibitions

Scout Community WeekTaking place from 14–20 May 2012, Scout

Community Week takes Scout Job Week to the

next level. It offers sections, Groups and Districts

the chance to design a fundraising project, which

delivers real benefit to the local community.

Opening ceremony

Who yer gonna call?

40 mins

Community Read the story of the boy who cried wolf and discuss the meaning of the story. Tell the Beavers they must not make hoax calls to the emergency services as it can take away help from someone who really needs it. Make up emergency situation cards and place in a pot. Around the room put up the names of different emergency services. The Beavers take turns to draw out a situation card and runs to the service they think they should call.They should be aware that some situations will need more than one emergency service.

Calling the emergency services

10 mins

Community Tell the Beaver Scouts about the two different emergency numbers – 999 and 112. Sit the Colony in a circle and ask for a volunteer. Set up a situation where the volunteer has fallen off a bike, perhaps using a chair as a prop. Ask the Beavers what they would do if the person was injured. Which service would be needed, what dangers may still exist and who would be involved? Get them pretend to call a service with a leader playing the role of the operator. What should they say?

Debbie Phillips has some helpful

tips for a great experience

It’s in the planning


Residential experiences are an exciting time

for both Beaver Scouts and leaders.

Everyone has the opportunity to get to

know each other better, away from their

usual surroundings.

Think about what you want to achieve during your

time away. This will give you an idea of where you need

to stay and the type of facilities you will need to have.

For some Beavers this may be the first time they have

been away from home. The venue should ideally be

close enough to home so parents can collect their child

if there are any problems. You also need to take into

consideration sleeping accommodation and the split of

males and females.

Confirm the availability of your leadership team and

any specialist instructors you might need to help with

your programme. All adults must have successfully

completed The Scout Association vetting process. If

using parents who are not subject to a current check,

you will need to apply for these straight away. Outdoor

activities require one leader to every six Beavers plus the

leader in charge and you will also need someone in the

party who holds a Nights Away Permit. Beavers should

feel at ease and familiar with the adults you are taking

with you.

What shall we do?Once you have a firm booking and are certain the event

is going ahead, ask the Beavers what they would like to

do. Perhaps suggest a themed event so they can be

quite creative with their thoughts. Look at the challenge

and activity badges. There are lots of activities you may

not have time to complete on a regular Colony evening

but may be able to complete during your time away.

You could concentrate on one of the badges so that the

Beavers gain the badge at the end of the time away.

You could ask a Colony from a different part of your

District or County to join you. This not only shares the

planning between the two sets of leaders but gives the

Beavers a chance to make new friends.

It’s in the planning

A weekend of firstsFor their residential experience, the 22nd Bootle

Beaver Scouts headed off to Waddecar Scout

Camp near Preston in Lancashire. ‘It was their

first time under canvas,’ says Beaver Scout Leader

Audra Magee, ’and their first ever real campfire.’

A highlight of the weekend was canoeing which

was another first for some of the Colony. A visit

to the Pirates Assault Course was a hit with

everyone, including the leaders and Explorer

Scouts who were helping out. ‘As soon as we

returned home,’ says Audra, ‘we started planning

our next residential experience.’

We have featured some of your 25th birthday celebrations in the past few issues. The variety of

events and enthusiasm by Beavers has been amazing. Well done to the leaders, parents and

helpers who made sure this year was one to remember. Here are some more stories.


How did you celebrate 25 years of Beaver Scouts?

Here is an end of year round-up by Rose Wells

Beavers’ birthday bashes

Mini ministersThe Houses of Parliament provided an

unusual setting for the 1st Sullington &

Storrington Beavers to celebrate the Beavers

25th birthday. An invitation from their local

MP, Nick Herbert, saw 23 Beavers and their

leader Gloria Gardner walking the corridors

of power. The Beavers visited both the

House of Commons and House of Lords.

“We’re grateful to Mr Herbert for

organising the trip,” said Gloria. “It was an

unforgettable experience.”

25TH BIRTHDAY

Who’s Xui at the zoo?Over 1,000 Beaver Scouts visited Banham Zoo

for their 25th birthday celebrations. The trip

involved eight Districts and was organised by

the Suffolk Beaver Scout Team. The zoo staff

produced a mini quiz book for the day and

created a Beaver village where Beavers and

Leaders could have a free drink and were

presented with special baseball caps. As a

thank you to the zoo, the Beavers sponsored

‘Xui’, a newly born Suffolk Punch colt.

Campsite funBradley Woods Scout campsite welcomed 80

Beaver Scouts for a fun-filled funday as part of

their 25th birthday celebrations. The Beavers,

from the Holme Valley District in Yorkshire,

took part in treasure hunts, climbing, archery

and had a go on the assault course. The event

was such a success that organiser, Assistant

District Commissioner Claire Bolton, has been

asked to make it an annual event.

Big, big greetingsBeaver Scouts from Barwick-in-Elmet

made a giant 25th birthday card –

and sent it to us. With lots of brightly

coloured drawings and messages, the

card has pride of place in the editorial

office. Even the Leaders added their

best wishes. A big thank you to the

Barwick-in-Elmet Beavers for their

amazing work of art.

Circus celebrationsGreater Manchester West County saw 450 Beaver

Scouts making friends and having fun. Their birthday

event was a circus-themed funday with Beavers

parading their birthday banners and having their faces

painted as clowns. Tightrope walking, juggling and

bouncy castle acrobatics added to the festivities and

the day closed with a traditional campfire, a cake and

a very loud Happy Birthday singalong.

Circus celebrations



One for each year We featured the 7th Crawley Beaver Scouts,

Furnace Green, earlier in the year when they

started their quest to complete 25 events to

mark the 25th anniversary. At the time of going

to press, they were about to tick off the last

couple of visits to round up an exciting and

adventurous year.

The Beavers’ agenda was varied and included

events involving trips to famous landmarks such as

The Tower of London and the Golden Hinde,

community visits to a nursing home, Mayor’s

office and fire stations. A residential experience

on a farm, canoeing and fishing on Brighton

seafront ensured everyone was catered for.

Beaver Leader, Yvonne Seetayah, is pleased

with the outcome of their year-long challenge.

‘Because we have done so much this year,’ she

says, ‘word of our events and what they were for

means we have been inundated with parents

wanting their children to join our Colony,’ The

only problem is the lack of adults becoming

leaders. ‘Parents are great, though,’ she adds, ‘we

never have a problem with parents helping out.’

Going the extra mileAll 25 of them, to be exact. One Beaver from the

7th Crawley Scouts decided to take the birthday

celebrations to new heights. During his family

holiday in the Lake District, Beaver Scout James

kept a record of five walks they completed,

totalling over 25 miles. The photograph shows

him on the Old Man of Coniston, which is 803

metres high. metres high.

One for each year

Chip and the Chandlers Ford BeaversChip, Hampshire’s Big Beaver mascot, was run off

his paws this year as he did the rounds of birthday

celebrations in the Chandlers Ford District. He

joined in as many activities as he could. Beavers

welcomed their mascot as they celebrated with

lots of fun and festivities. The last event saw over

130 Beavers descend on ‘Monkey Bizness’ for two

hours of activities and challenges for both them

and their leaders. ‘A fitting end to a very exciting

year,’ says District Commissioner, Carolyn

Darbyshire. And, of course, Chip was there too.

Trust us to find funWhere better to have your 25th birthday party

than at Shaldon Wildlife Trust which also

celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. The 1st

Kingskerswell Beaver Scouts from Devon visited

their local zoo and had a great time following a

trail, getting up close to a corn snake and

meeting meerkats. After listening to an absorbing

talk about the animals, the Beavers trekked down

to the beach for a barbeque and treasure hunt.

25TH BIRTHDAY

LegoLand Over 13,000 Beaver Scouts descended on

Legoland Windsor over two days in October

to mark the 25th anniversary of Beaver

Scouting. The event was designed to bring

together all of the Counties in the South

East Region. One of the organisers, Kathy

Smith, said: ‘We did this as the first

Regional event. We wanted the Beaver

Scouts to see the bigger picture of Scouting

in a fun environment.’

LegoLand was chosen as the venue to

accommodate the anticipated numbers. ‘We

wouldn’t have been able to set up an event

on this scale ourselves,’ added Kathy. ‘The

Scout Association already has a relationship

with Merlin Entertainments, who own

LegoLand, so it seemed the perfect fit.’

It’s our birthday tooCelebrating their own 25th birthday as well as the

section’s birthday were the 2nd Cuddington (Rowe)

Beaver Scouts. The group have only had three

Beaver Scout Leaders during this time and they all

went to the party, together with previous Beavers

and helpers. The group put on a display of

photographs and badges from the last 25 years and

a delicious starry cake took pride of place.

Way out WestSolway and Derwent Beavers got a taste of the

Wild West when they had a themed sleepover

for their birthday celebrations. Fifty Beavers

soon made friends at the Ratlingate Scout

campsite as they tried their hand at lassoing,

space hopper rodeo riding, panning for gold,

real live pony care and much more. A local

farmer loaned them some bales of hay to set

the scene.

‘We had support from Young Leaders and

Explorer Scouts,’ said BSL Sue Cruickshank. ‘It

was wonderful to see the older sections

helping out with the youngest.’

Solway and Derwent Beavers got a taste of the


Throughout 2010, international disaster relief

charity ShelterBox, an official partner of The

Scout Association, ran The ShelterBox

Challenge. This was a resource pack that

focused on the charity’s work.

Over 750 groups from across the country took part in

the challenge which saw young people explore a

number of themes including water conservation,

photography and faith. ‘Our Beavers really enjoyed the

activities,’ said Beaver Scout Leader Shelley Todd. ‘I

can’t wait for the next session.’

Helping you help usAfter months of work, the charity is now ready to release

their next resource pack. Go Global is designed to help

leaders cover the Global Zone with their Colony. It’s

crammed full of fun activities that enable young people to

explore the themes surrounding the work of ShelterBox.

As well as activity ideas, there are loads of extra

resources that make covering global issues easier for

Leaders. Some of the activities are ideas that can be

adapted and expanded to suit your Colony. Others

have easy to use ‘how to run’ guides and a series of

extra resources in your section of the Young

ShelterBox website.

‘We understand that some leaders may find it

difficult to explore international issues with their group,’

says James Webb, Young ShelterBox Officer. ‘We

created Go Global to give a helping hand.’

Go Global is available from the Scouts’ area of the

Young ShelterBox website, www.youngshelterbox.org.

To discover more and register your Colony for the

programme, visit the website or email

[email protected]. Include your name,

address, section, group name and number of Beavers

taking part. Colonies that register for Go Global will

also receive a special pack of goodies to further help

cover the Global Zone.
