Beaver Badge Day
June 14 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
We are inviting Beaver Colonies to come and join us for a fun filled day where we will be completing all the exciting requirements of both the Camp Craft Badge and the Cyclist Badge!
We will be making things, exploring the camp fire, learning new skills, getting messy, and making things to take home!
Bookings
Please book your Colony on using the booking form: https://forms.office.com/e/z7bwCqXyCd
What to bring
Everyone should come in their Beaver uniform, including neckers, and be wearing appropriate footwear for walking on grass and in woods.
Beavers will need to be able to ride a bicycle to achieve the cyclist badge (we will have bicycles, helmets, and limited bicycles with stabilisers – please let us know what is needed before the day)
Each Beaver will need their own rucksack that they can carry around the bases with them, that contains:
Waterproofs
Packed lunch
Refillable water bottle
Sun hat and sun cream (if good weather!)
Adults should bring their own appropriate first aid kit for going around the activity bases and deal with any minor injuries themselves. We will have additional first aid cover on site for anything more serious.
Car Parking
Your Colony will be assigned an arrival and departure time to help spread out the cars entering and exiting the site. This information will be shared closer to the time, to allow us to evenly spread out those that have booked on.
To help lower the number of cars on site, please encourage your parents/carers to arrange car sharing between themselves.
Activities
Each Colony should split their Beavers into small groups of 6 – 8, and assign a DBS-ed adult to each of these Groups to go around the activity bases with them.
Each base will have volunteers from the Events Team there to explain the activity and set the Beavers off.
