Beavers and Cubs: Legendary Beasts Sleepover

1^st Caythorpe & Duke’s Covert Beavers and Cubs are already back in the swing of residential Scouting activities this academic year, having held a ‘Legendary Beasts’ themed sleepover at Caythorpe and Frieston Village Hall earlier this month.

Fourteen Beavers and Cubs participated in the first sleepover the Group has held in our new meeting venue. Activities included a Treasure Hunt around Caythorpe village, with a cash prize for the teams to spend in the village shop, as well as FIMO legendary beast craft modelling, indoor den building and lots of fun games in the village hall and the park. Saturday’s activities were rounded off with an indoor campfire and sing-song, with hot chocolate and biscuits before bedtime.

The den building activity was a crucial one to get right – the Beavers and Cubs spent the night in the dens they’d built!!! Fortunately they didn’t need to be draughtproof or waterproof as the dens were in the village hall for the night. Some of the more adventurous Scouts who were helping out at the sleepover did sleep in tents at the back of the village hall! Brrr!

The food was highly rated by participants, with Spanish chicken for dinner on Saturday night and pancakes, everyone’s favourite, for breakfast on Sunday morning.
