At the County Roadshows, we asked Leaders which badge it is they would like to complete on this day, and the Photography Badge came out tops!

We will be doing exciting activities during the day to complete the Photography Activity Badge and each Beaver will go home with a piece of their art and a badge!

Leaders will need to accompany their Beavers and everyone will need a packed lunch.

Bookings

Please let us know how many Beavers from your colony will be attending by completing this online form: https://forms.office.com/e/qQijzge7zF

If you wish to add more Beavers on after your initial booking, then please complete the form again, just entering your additional numbers.

Payments

All payments should be made by Thursday 13th April as per the details on the booking form and your confirmation email. 

What to bring

Everyone should come in their activity uniform, including neckers and be wearing appropriate footwear for walking on grass and in woods.

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 in colonies 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 Leaders there to explain the activity and set the Beavers off, with more than one small Group able to complete the activity at once.

If a base is looking a bit full, please move on to another one and come back to it. 

Activity bases will include:

– Using different types of cameras

– How to take a good photograph

– Dark room activity

– Stop motion activity

– Make an item using your photos from the day!
