We have two children moving up to Cubs – Login to view names . We wish them all the best of luck and thank them for their participation and enthusiasm whilst with us! Many thanks also to their parents who have been fantastic support to the Colony. We will have some new Beavers joining us after Camp.

Summer Programme
We are running Beavers each week for the Summer Term except May 4th – the day after Camp! We are asking the children tonight what they would like in this term’s programme – a ‘log chew’ in Beaver talk. We will issue the programme for the term shortly after this. The parent rota will be issued with this. If any parents are unable to help on any week, please arrange to swap with another parent.

We are lucky to continue to have three young leaders – Login to view names – who regularly help – thank you!

Subscriptions
These are now due and are £20 for the term. Please make cheques payable to 1st Crowle Scout Group and put your child’s name on the back – this is our preferred option! If you want to pay cash, please put the cash in the envelopes provided. Please ensure the envelope is marked with you child’s name.

The future of Crowle Beavers….
In September 2010, Dean & Sheriden are stepping down as Beaver Leaders. As a result, we need new people involved in the Colony to run it, with support from us initially. We are also looking for a Treasurer and Badge Secretary, as Login to view names children are now no longer at Beavers. After Camp, we will set up a meeting at the end of one session for parents to discuss the future of the Colony. Obviously, Camp is a great opportunity to discuss this for those of you who are going.

Beavers gives our children some unique, fantastic opportunities, experiences they treasure and gives them confidence while having fun. We hope some adventurous adults feel able to take up the reins…

There were mice, mice eating all the rice,
In the stores, in the stores,
There were mice, mice eating all the rice,
In the Quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus : (after each verse)
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have – not – brought – my – specs – with – me!

There were bananas, bananas wearing pink pyjamas…..

There were pigs, pigs wearing silly wigs…….

There was gravy, gravy enough to float the navy …….

There were cats, cats, chasing all the rats…..
