Newsletter Jaunary 2010
Happy New Year to all the Beavers and their families.
The scouting calendar is already filling up with group, district and county events so we will keep you all up to date with the Meetings / Events column in all our newsletters. Please cut it out and keep handy.
The leaders have planned a full programme of events we hope the Beavers will enjoy. Once the Cubs start, we will be asking parents to help at some of our busier evenings. If any Beaver would like to write up a small article for the newsletters, they are more than welcome (any that do not get published will go up on our notice board at The Hut).
Some of the older Beavers will be moving on to the new Cub Pack in Compton and we wish them well.
The colony will be working towards these two badges this term:
