District Children In Need activity day! By Slough Scouts on 24/11/2015 (updated 12/08/2021) In Beavers, Featured, News / 0 comments On Saturday 21st November the Beavers held a District Children In Need activity day at 3rd Upton. This was attended by 56 Beavers from across 6 colonies. The day was full of 6 different activities that the Beavers took part in: designing and making their own non-alcoholic cocktails / decorating biscuits and cakes with lots of yummy sweets (thank you to the 3rd Upton parent who made over 60 cakes to be decorated) designing a new superhero, drawing it and talking about the powers they would have Lego station where they could build something without instructions and using their imagination Pudsey worksheets where they had the chance to do some colouring, dot-2-dots and dressing Pudsey up mosaic Pudsey where each group filled a drawing of Pudsey up by sticking lots of different plastic bottle lists and cotton wool to it each Beaver (& leader) had the opportunity to have their picture taken with Pudsey in a photo booth and these will be printed and given out for everyone to keep. Before the activity day the Beavers were given a task to see how many items they could fit into a matchbox, all had to be different items. One very clever Beavers managed to fit 45 items into their matchbox. At the end of the day the Beavers played a couple of games before collecting all their stuff and heading home. I would like to say a big Thank You to all the leaders involved from 1st Britwell, 2nd Cippenham, Colnbrook, 1st Langley (Wednesday & Friday) and 3rd Upton for their help and support on Saturday. It was a busy day but all the Beavers had fun and went home happy J. We also raised around £70 for Children In Need which is fantastic.
