This month the cubs enjoyed lots of fun games especially as the warm weather has continued well into September and I was able to give out well deserved badges that the cubs had achieved which included the swimming activity badge, and time served badges.
Well done to those cubs!

1st Taverham Scout Group has an exciting programme of events planned. However, some of our plans are compromised by a shortage of leaders which does limit the variety of opportunities that we are able to offer the children.
If you would be interested in helping out, having a chat with one of the leaders, or coming along to a meeting to see what it involves, please get in touch with Graham Edmunds at: gsl@1sttaverhamscouts.co.uk or click here.
During February we had the pleasure of investing 7 young Beavers and also we invested one of our new adult helpers, His name is Matt and he is known to the group as Sharky.
On Burns Night, we had lots of fun celebrating all things Scottish and learnt how to do Scottish dancing which we all took part in and had a great evening.

Our Beavers have had a hectic end of term with a visit to St Edmunds, singing, prayers and hot chocolate. Some of our Beavers attended a District Fun day conveniently held at Taverham when 109 Beavers came together to make all sorts of Christmas crafts, games, singing and a visit to see Santa and post their letters to him. The last meeting of the year saw Arthur Williams gaining his Bronze Award before swimming up to Cubs with four others.

Cubs had fun with their chef badge and Christmas party. They were making pizzas, playing pass the parcel and playing Christmas bingo.

At Taverham Cubs on one Tuesday evening we had the pleasure of investing more young people into the Waingunga pack and it was the first time Beavers had to make the promise to His Majesty the King.
On Remembrance Sunday all Sections from 1st Taverham Scout Group took part in the Remembrance Service at St Edmund’s Church where Taverham Band were playing again for the first time in three years.

Prayers were led by the young people remembering the fallen and also all those currently affected by war and prayed for Peace.

We have had fun in October with our meeting night falling on Halloween. We had a pumpkin hunt in the dark, a spooky space hopper relay and the doughnut limbo with all Beavers and Leaders having a go.
We invested another Beaver into our group.
This month we have also continued an act of kindness in memory of our Patron HM Queen Elizabeth II which included donations to the local food bank for the harvest festival.

The Beavers have been getting ready for their first overnight camp and there is a definite buzz in the air with Beavers, parents and leaders practicing putting up tents. We have also been continuing with our health and fitness badges including making a healthy snack which were pretty delicious!

The Scouts finally made it Kanderstag after having to postpone due to COVID. 20 Scouts and 4 leaders made the mammoth 24hr coach journey to Kanderstag International Scout Centre in Switzerland. A truly amazing week with lots of memories for all
Here are just a few things they got up to:
Swimming in a glacier fed lake ( higher then Ben Nevis)
Cable car and hike up to a mountain hut for an overnight stay amongst the cows with their noisy bells!!
Rock climbing on real rocks, learning rope and climbing techniques.
A day trip to Bern to see the Bears and a swim in the park ( it’s was hot so needed to cool down).
Taking part in a campfire with over 500 scouts from a around the world.
Thanks to all who helped and support our fundraising for this trip, it was one that they will never forget.
We are now looking forward to starting the new term and welcoming our new joiners.

1st Taverham Scout Group has an exciting programme of events planned, including a Summer camp in Switzerland for some of the scouts. However, some of our plans are compromised by a shortage of leaders which does limit the variety of opportunities that we are able to offer the children.
Currently, both of the Cub sections (Monday and Tuesday evenings) and the Scout section (Wednesday evenings) are short of leaders and many of the existing leaders are helping on more than one night per week in order to keep sections viable and running smoothly. If you would be interested in helping out, having a chat with one of the leaders, or coming along to a meeting to see what it involves, please get in touch with James Wilson at: scouts@1sttaverhamscouts.co.uk or click here.
Both Cub Packs attended the Mike Thurston Activity Centre, North Walsham on 31 July for Cubs on water (COWS)
Activities included kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and rafting with some land base activities too.
The rain showers did not impede the young people at all, and a thoroughly great day was had by all.
We must thank the district team for organising the event and making the day one to remember.
As a leader it’s great to see the cubs grow in confidence throughout the day. I’m sure there would be a few sleeping on the car journey home.
Thanks to all the parents and assistants for their support too.

We have all had fun on the go-carts, practiced shooting hoops, yoga routines and water carrying to water the new trees and some potatoes which we planted in bags.
Each Beaver has also been challenged to grow the tallest sunflower to remember Ukrainians.
Beavers held an old fashioned Bring and Buy Sale in aid of the Ukrainian Appeal. A good time was had by everyone and an amazing £87.40 was sent off to Christian Aid.
24 Beavers carried out a litter pick at Taverham village hall and around Nightingale Drive ready for the Jubilee and were awarded the Special Jubilee badge for their efforts
