5. Safety

6. Musician stage 1

The detailed requirements of these badges can be found at the hyperlinks in Reference section at the end. Weekly, more detailed programmes will be issued as required.

1. We are always looking for parent help on a Tuesday evening so if you would like to be involved, please let me know. If you like the sound of one of the Evenings just let me know. If you have any ideas or suggestions for a fun evening please come and talk/Email me, or the other leaders.

We are also looking for parents to be involved on our fundraising committee. Again please let me know.

2. Now that we are more established we wish to introduce Beaver of the week and Lodge of the ½ Term, so please make sure your Beavers are smartly turned out. Uniform standards – School shoes/trainers, school trousers/Skirt/shorts Beaver top, Necker, woggle and a smile (Shoes for church Parades)

3. There is one Church Parade per month. Please make every effort to attend especially the Remembrance service in November. On the plan I have also added diary reminders for other related activities, such as School and Church Fetes.

4. We are still in the 25th year that Beavers scouts first started. So please put your thinking caps on and come up with some interesting ideas/events/funding that we can do with a 25 theme.

5. We now have a working website .uk and a facebook page please check for the latest news, if you do not want your Beavers photo on the Web please again let me know. Their names will never be used on the web.

Thank you for your continued support
