Come and join us for fun and friends. We have places available.

We’re looking forward to two camps this summer:

  • 11th Southgate Beavers and Cubs Camp, Beavers can join us for a 24 hour overnight camp, sleeping in a bunk room, or come for the day. Either way it will be fun and packed with activities.
  • Southgate District All Sections Camp – 4th to 6th July at Tolmers. Beavers are invited to come for the day on Sunday 6th July 2025

  • The Southgate District Beavers, Cubs and Scouts celebrated St Georges Day at Tolmers with a fun activity day
  • In June, we went to Gilwell Park for the Beaver Fun Day
  • We joined the Cubs at camp for the first time and had loads of fun
  • Our Family Fun Day and AGM was in September. There were activities for parents and of course a camp fire with bread sticks and marshmallows.
  • We had great fun at the Southgate District Sports Day and on Monday nights, we did problem solving, experiments, games, challenges and so much more

We came second in the district Dominoes competition, which we ran at the 11th Southgate with the kind help of Sarah Brandi. Beaver Sienna was the individual winner and is looking after the trophy until next year.

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.
