June 21 Beaver Sleepover Once again the District Beaver Sleepover had a good turn out with 40 Beavers from 7 Colonies taking part. The Evening started with a treasure hunt, clues around Chapeltown and Burncross leading us to a park. A nice pleasant stroll back with the only two questions being asked were "when is it supper time" and "how much further is it". Once back it was supper time with hot dogs on the menu. Then "can we get our beds out" cry from the Beavers. Once the beds and the Beavers were ready it was DVD time, but it was about 10pm by then. Don't know what happened this year but they were all asleep by 1.30am and stayed in their beds until 6.30am. Once awake they were up and ready. Things soon packed and breakfast had, it was games until time for the coach to come to take us to The Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The first sculptures we saw were of men without any cloths on, shock and horror from the leaders, laughs and giggles from the Beavers. We walked through a field of sheep which some of the Beavers had never done, and yes trying to avoid the sheep poo but not very well as it is not very easy when the field is completly covered in it, they climbed all over a large log that had fell over years before. Lunch was a picnic on the grass and then another long walk around to the musical trees and on to the natural adventure playground the Beavers realy enjoyed. Then 3.30pm off for home to a drink and biscuit ready to be collected. 40 wore out Beavers and 12 even more wore out leaders. But they all said they had enjoyed it and talked about next time. |
