Volunteers Wanted!

Well the new term has started with lots of new members and children moving up to cubs and scouts.  Lots of new activities are planned to keep everyone busy during the darker evenings.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of all the volunteers from the leaders and helpers through to the treasurer and committee members.

There are roles available for people with all kinds of skills and interests and it would be great to be able to build on what is already in place.

If you are interested please get in touch to find out more - details are on the poster below.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Busy as a Beaver!

Last half term the Beavers completed the Global Challenge badge and the Imagination badge.  For these they tasted food from other countries, learnt how to say hello in other languages and had a great show of Beaver talent with some talented singers and a budding magician.

Some Beavers have also achieved their Hobby badge.  They told us about their hobbies including football, rugby, climbing, various collections and we had an amazing diablo demonstration.

All very impressive - they are a busy bunch of Beavers!

The photos below show some of the activities that the group have been involved with recently.

Making Musical Instruments

Making more Musical Instruments

If you would like to find out more about joining the Beavers or would like to put your child's name on the waiting list please get in touch via oldcolwynscouts@hotmail.co.uk

Scouts get on their bikes!

The 6th May saw the Scouts get out on their bikes.

This was a really popular activity as you can see by all the enthusiastic cyclists in the picture.  As luck would have it, it was a dry evening and of course the lighter nights meant that the scouts didn't have to rush back.

The intrepid cyclists took the cycle path along the coast.  It's ideal for a group as there is no need to battle with traffic and every one did manage to keep clear of the cliffs!

Well done Scouts!
