Early Saturday morning over 90 Beavers from North London Scout District including 10 beavers from 224 North London met at Finsbury Park Station to start their big adventure and go to Brighton for the day

After the train journey the excited beavers got off and walked around 20 minutes to the Brighton Sea Life

Once they had finished visiting Sea Life the beavers then hit the beach for a Treasure Hunt and a walk back to the station

The beavers then took over the front of the train to return to London.  Activities on the train included decorating a stone (or two) that they had collected from the beach to take home as a souvenir

We have had recent reports that loads of tiny ninja Beavers, who wear turquoise, have been seen in East Finchley every Tuesday from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
 
Our current team needs help to ensure that they are safe whilst scaling obstacles and developing their appreciation of fire and other survival skills.
 
It is rumoured they also enjoy staying away from home – even under canvas – but more importantly, we need your help to stop them gnawing on our building and furniture on those odd occasions when we have to keep them indoors!
 
You will enjoy their antics and company, plus marvel at what they are capable of. If that isn’t enough for you, we can also provide light refreshments during your hour and a bit each week. Just avoid them building a dam on your head and ensure that you have some logs for them to chew on. You wouldn’t want them going after your leg or ears, instead.

On Tuesday 25th April the cubs had their first summer evening away from the hut and met at Parklands walk by the Bat cave to enjoy the lighter nights having been stuck in the hall for the winter and going stir cray

They then was shown some of the foods that can be foraged this time of year including Wild Garlic which they picked and chopped up.  Having done this they made some   Pasta and pesto with wild garlic on a camp stove which they all enjoyed

Once they finished foraging our Young Leader (Sonny)run a wide game with them to finish the evening off

Hopefully now summer is here we can enjoy some more outdoor evenings

My first impression is that I was in heaven yet again. If you would list all of the things that went well, one of them happened at the beginning of the camp when they assigned you your dormitories and cabin mates because I was paired up with a great bunch of friends. Also, the boat that we stayed on is a really cool old sort of army/fishing boat that is called the Lord Armory. In the morning, at eight o’clock sharp every day, they did something called ‘colours’ where we would already have to be dressed and just stand there until someone would call “colours sir” and then “make it so“ and then they raised the flag. After that, you would go down to have breakfast and pass the time until the boating activities started.

When the time comes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the mess hall is packed and has a very lively atmosphere, and when the food could have been a bit better I liked it all the same. Similar to that, the tuck shop is stacked from top to bottom, so just before we leave on Sunday, you can get what you want if they let you purchase anything (they haven't let me  for two camps now).

The actual activities made me feel over the moon. The boats that we went in were: a sailing boat, a rowing boat, a bellboat, a kayak, a canoe, and then whatever boat we wanted to go in afterwards. It really is the experience of a lifetime when you are in those boats.
