Beavers meet each Tuesday at 6.30pm - 7.30pm. We meet in the Church Hall in Athol Road. Information about our activities and how to join us can be obtained by telephoning Coventry 7636 0908.
 

Beavers meet on a Tuesday night between 6.30 pm and 8 pm at St Mary’s Church Hall. Our beavers are aged from six up to eight when they then go up to cubs.

Our numbers are about fourteen at the moment as a lot of Beavers went up to Cubs in the last three months.

In the past year we have been busy doing lots of stuff. We went for a visit to Draycote Waters with the sea cadets, the beavers had a great time on the different boats I think they all enjoyed seeing the leaders getting very wet when the sea cadets decided to make waves!

We enjoyed going to MacDonald’s at the end of the summer term.

St Mary’s held the district carol service which was very well attended. The Beavers also made cards and gifts for the residents at St Martins lodge, which we distributed when we went to sing carols. Special thanks to Malcolm and Margaret for their help with this yearly event.

Beavers also attended a Beavers Christmas party at Rough Close. The children had a great time even though it was freezing cold.

We had a visit from R.A.G.S. who bought along with them a selection of Rabbits and Guinea pigs for the children to look at and hold.

Recently, the beavers have made Mothers day and Easter cards, also small gifts.

Beavers will be working towards their Global badge after Easter, looking at Fair trade produce, helping the environment and also recycling.

Sadly Lisa had to resign from Beavers due to work commitments, but she has agreed to help with trying to arrange trips and coming on them, we miss her very much.

What is Beaver Scouting?
Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between eight and eight years six months.

Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others. They usually meet together once a week in a Beaver Scout Colony.
