Campfires burning, Campfires burning, Draw nearer. . . . 1st New Romney Beavers and Mulberry Cubs had a funtastic time @ 1st Lydd at their first Campfire of the season. After a mixed weather day, we all held our breath - BUT the sun shone and the evening was just perfick. We dined in the open air, cooking our very own 3 course meal - Twisters with all sorts of fillings:- cheese, choc spread and golden syrup followed by hot dogs, not a burnt offering in sight!!! Our Beavers are the most amazing hot dog preppers - the results YUM YUM with generous helpings of ketchup and then the S’mores - one of the highlights of the evening with the biggest ever giant marshmallows!!! All sandwiched in the most delicious chocolate biscuits!!
And - we followed with the ever popular Campfire songs as the round up to a great evening. We learnt so many - Animal Fayre; Alice the Camel; Heads n Shoulders; BINGO; Beaver Smile; Litter . . . . . Ging Gang Gooli. . . And there were more . . . . . .
Huge thank you to 1st Lydd for hosting the event and our amazing Leaders for pulling it all together. A special shout out to Rick and Veronica for leading one great evening and to all the Leaders who helped.
And . . . . . the term promises to get better as we celebrate World Ocean Day next week; The Beaver Challenge 40 project - starting with the Sandcastle Challenge; Adopt a farm animal and visiting the Rare Breeds as part of our 40th Birthday celebrations PLUS the Amazing Chocolate AGM - Games and fun to support our chosen local charity - Last Chance Animal Rescue New Romney. We welcome everyone from the wider community to join us for one amazing evening.
That’s only the start of the Scouting Adventure for June - and still leaves room for even more fun in July so come along and join in - our Scouting year keeps getting better. . . .
In Volunteer Week we would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all our Leaders and Supporters for coming up with fun ideas, adventures and great opportunities at every single meeting. . . . You really are LEGENDS
