District Beaver fun day – Around the world (Barbados)

We were low in numbers as a district this year, we only had 5 beavers.  We are looking at this to see if we can find out why? There will be a questionnaire to all parents asking these kinds of things.  The beavers who attended were a credit to our group, they all took part in the activities and all had a great time. We look forward to next year’s fun day

  3. Build a collage, draw or paint a picture imagining what life might be like in the future
