Headquarters, Westmead Road
On the 14th November
Doors open at 7.30
Stick this date in your diary now!!!!!
Fun night with prizes.

This is a fun night with the jockeys being the children, on specially constructed "horses"
As the giant die is rolled, the jockeys gallop forward the relevant number of spaces, while the adult can place fun wagers, through the "bookmakers"

A fun evening for the family, not to be missed!

IT badge for all Sections

I have had a few enquiries about what is required for the IT badge.

I have checked out the following link:
http://www.itbadge.org.uk/
which is safe to allow your child onto. It will guide him/her through the various stages required.

On Stage One:
A certificate can be printed out at the end, after the Beaver works his/her way through the tasks.
If the parent can sign off tasks 1 and 5, and the Beaver brings it in (with the poster and picture from task 3 and 4) then I am happy that they have satisfied all requirements, and they will have earned their IT badge.

Note for cubs/scouts/parents: as this is a “staged” badge, cubs and scouts details are available from the same page with the same criteria

Chessington World of Adventure Fun Day

As mentioned last 1/2 term, the Beavers have expressed an interest in having a Fun-Day at Chessington.
I am happy to organise this but need to find out (pretty soon) which dates are preferable to everyone.
The sooner I get numbers, the sooner I can try to book a group discount, (maximum price per child should be £16 entry), and organise the number of helpers required.

Dates possible are the week after family camp, or the week after that.
i.e. Sat 4th July, Sun 5th July, Sat 11th July, Sun 12th July.

Please let Eddie (Badger) know at the next meeting or email on eddiejdriver@gmail.com

1. Name of child
2. Like to attend (or not)
3. Dates s/he could/couldn't do
4. Do you already possess/will possess a Merlin/Chessington pass (that will keep costs even lower for you!) (young adventurer annual passes(12 month entry for under 12s) are £50
5. Can you assist with transport for other children there or back

Thanks, Eddie (Badger)
