District Beaver Camp 2024

31 October 2024

This year, the District Beaver team decided to host two Beaver camps so that we could offer the opportunity to all the Beavers in the district. On the weekends of 8th-9th June and 22nd-23rd June, we were able to host 101 Beavers at the Gordon Brown Centre for two weekends of fun and fabulous activities.

The activities included the usual favourites: fire lighting, den building, low ropes, and the obstacle course. In the evening, we had amazing campfires; the first campfire was led by Andy Cullen, and at the second one, there was a collaboration between Craig and Sam, and I also performed a song or two.

Downtime was well-utilised, with several balls being kicked around, and, especially at the second camp, bracelet making proved to be a very popular activity.

As always, everyone was well-fed during the camp by the amazing kitchen team, led by Mr Hawkins.

The best part of the camp is seeing the Beavers having fun, making new friends, and trying new things. It is wonderful to see them helping each other out and taking on new challenges they didn’t think they could!

As always, a huge thank you to every leader who joined us to make it possible for the young people to have this experience. See you next year!
