We were delighted to have a visit from Assistant Beaver Leader Vicky (Brown Beaver) and her lovely baby daughter. We can’t wait to see them again.

We started holding Beavers online on 23rd March.

The Beavers are working hard on their badges at the same time as having fun. They made bookmarks for Mothers’ Day, are working on their Book Reader, Cook, Gardening, Space, Creator and other badges.
