We have had a busy half term across all our sections. With 27 Beavers currently on our register, there is never a dull moment, and they have been focusing on their Health and Fitness and Cook Activity badges. We’ve made carrot biscuits and practised our knife skills making fruit kebabs, as well as playing games and finding out about healthy eating.
Cubs and Scouts have been baking too - and met the challenge of making scones, butter and jam all in one night - I can’t tell you if they tasted good, they all vanished too fast! The Cubs have also been working towards their Home Safety Badge, whilst the Scouts have been making the most of the fencing coaching course that Freya attended last year, and have nearly completed their Master At Arms, with just one more session to go after half term.
We finished the half term with two sessions at the Extreme Air trampoline park in Oldham. With 30 young people in each session plus leaders, everyone had a great time, although I have to admit I breathed a sign of relief when everybody went home unscathed.
The leaders from Oldham Borough Scout groups have met up to plan District events for the coming year, and the What’s On page of our website is now looking considerably busier. If you would like to know what we are up to, why don’t go you and take a look? You can find out more about us at www.20tholdham.co.uk and we also have a 20th Oldham Scouts Facebook page, and can be found on Twitter @20tholdham - it’s a wonder we have time to get anything done!
