You've got to be joking ? (15/06/08)

At a recent Beaver Scout sleepover, the leaders got the Beaver Scouts into pyjamas ready for bed, and made them all hot chocolate to drink. The leaders told them that as the hot chocolate was in beakers they all had to be careful not to burn themselves. When giving them out, one little chap was seen to be applying suncream to his hands; why are you doing that now, inside a building and when you're going to bed ? said the leader - The reply: because you said becareful you don't burn yourself !!!! - kids !

Beaver Birthday Badge - 17/11/06
The Beaver Scouts 20th Birthday Badge can be worn on your uniform, but only for the next few weeks. The badge is worn on the unform above the left breast, directly above the purple World Membership Badge. Badges must be removed for the 1st January 2007.

Scouting Birthday Badge- 18/02/06
The Scout Association is 100 years old next year. To celebrate this a badge has been designed, and is available for wear. Whilst you are able to buy it now, we are advising all Beavers Scouts and Leaders not to wear the badge until 2007. This will enable the badge to directly replace the Beaver Birthday badge, and will not make the Beaver Scouts uniform too cluttered.
