Week 26: April 7-10 2025

Wrapping up the spring term with a sweet campfire treat, the Scouts made marshmallow and chocolate pockets from scratch on Monday night. Their cooking skills are improving steadily!

The Scouts are mixing dough to make marshmallow and chocolate pockets with. Why one Scout is holding his circle of dough over his face is anyone's guess, though.

With all of their marshmallow and chocolate pockets roasting on the fire, the Scouts are chilling out around the circle.

Surprisingly, this Scout hasn't scoffed his sweet treat yet! It looks nice and golden brown.

This Scout has a tasty looking result to her baked treat and looks rather pleased with it.

At last, the Cubs have finished their bird houses! All the hard work has paid off, and their bird houses look fantastic. They've been really supportive of each other through the task, even chanting the name of the final Cub as she hammered in the last nail on her bird house on Tuesday night.

Ten wooden bird houses in a row, ready to be mounted in ten gardens! The Cubs have done a great job on them.

The youngest Cub is getting the hinge of the bird house lid screwed into place.

This Cub is carefully positioning his roofing felt on his bird house, that will keep the hinged area dry.

The second week of riflery for the Beavers went well, with two of the Beavers shooting very consistently. They were shooting so consistently that they were given the chance to use the knockdown targets instead, which they thoroughly enjoyed!

The Beaver has got an incredibly small grouping on his rifle target and looks very proud of himself.

Two of the Beavers are shooting at knockdown targets instead of paper targets, as they are accurate enough in their shooting. One has hit two of her three targets, and the other has knocked down all three and reset them to knock them down again.
