We are organising our first day out at Williams Den for our Squirrels and Beavers across Blacktoft Beacon!

There’s all sorts to do at Williams Den, including indoor and outdoor adventure play areas, woodland walk and plenty of space to play. There won’t be a set activity timetable, your Squirrels and Beavers will be free to do what they want, when they. We will provide an activity booklet giving you and your groups ideas of things to do such as a scavenger hunt, treasure hunt, word search, things to create in the sand etc! It’s completely up to you on how much you want to do. The purpose of this event is to have a fun day out and give Squirrels and Beavers the opportunity to meet new friends and enjoy a *hopefully* sunny day full of adventure… plus every young person will also receive a scoop of ice cream!

Groups/sections are responsible for their young people throughout the day, including supervising them and ensuring they are entertained (but with plenty to do at Williams Den, this shouldn’t be a problem). The district team will be around and on hand throughout day to support and be a familiar point of contact.

Members should bring a pack up for lunch, it’s up to groups to pick a time to eat that’s good for them.

Williams Den is pretty central in the district, so it’s ideal for Parents to drop straight off. But if groups wish to organise transport, this is for them to arrange separately.

Cost £13.50 per young person to include a single scoop of ice-cream.

The groups must bring a ratio of 1 adult to every 4 young people and these adults will not be charged an entry fee. Whilst this ratio is different to POR for Beavers, it is the ratio Williams Den has asked for all young people. Any extra adults (over the 1-4 ratio) will be charged £5 each. 

Bookings can be made at https://bookings.blacktoftbeacon-scouts.org.uk. Deadline for bookings is a week before (22nd June). Further details, such as what to do on arrival, will be shared with leaders booked on closer to the time.
