FARNHAM DISTRICT BEAVER SCOUTS.
ANNUAL REPORT 2011.
As new ADC Beaver Scouts I am pleased to report that the section is doing well with 7 active and full Colonies, all with waiting lists. Two new Colonies are also very likely to join us by the Autumn. With the full co-operation of the GSL and parents at 8th. [Rowledge] we
have been holding meetings since early spring and expect that the Colony will be fully operational by the Autumn term. 5th. Farnham [Bourne] are also making their own arrangements to start a third Colony in the autumn which will greatly reduce their long waiting
list -for a while at least! Well done to all.
During the past year District activities with Beaver Scouts included a busy and successful Sports Night in June, won by 7th., an excellent visit to Marwell Zoo in October and a very well attended Swimming Gala in February, won by 2nd.
This year celebrates the 25th anniversary of Beaver Scouting in the U.K. and there will be various events. We plan our usual District sports evening on 10th. June, and all Colonies will be attending a regional visit to Legoland on 9th. October. This will be an immense event with thousands of Beavers attending - general public be warned! We also plan our own District celebration with an anniversary party and overnight “residential experience” at the end of October.
County has a “25 Challenge” of programme ideas and events which our Colonies will undertake throughout the year and projected events for 2012 include “Frantic” for 3 Districts at Hampton Estate next May and the County activity event “Bazzaz” next June.
The Beaver Scout Section is very alive and well, many thanks being due to Denise Iverson’s 10 years as ADC Beaver Scouts, from which she stepped down in February. I hope I can carry on her excellent work, thankfully with the outstanding input of District Beaver Scout Leader, Marion Stagg. Many thanks to all the Leaders who make this Section so successful, especially Rebecca Kite of 4th, who will step down at Christmas after 6 years as their active and enthusiastic Leader.
