SHURDINGTON

Our Cub Scouts had an evening swatting for their science badge. They had separate sessions thanks to parents who stayed to help. Mixing oil and coloured water, making small rockets with bicarb and vinegar, and lighting tiny bulbs with lemons as batteries. Very interesting and worth watching.

Beavers spent the evening working for their cooking badge. They made pizza, an this was their second dish.

Their third dish needs to be made at home and a picture brought to their meeting next time they meet.

Sadly our Scout Troop has gone into a rest period where only one Scout is turning up. Looks like we will have to wait till the New Year when perhaps some Cubs reaching ten years of age will venture to the Scout troop. Shame as the Troop, which is boys and girls 10+, have a great experience. However they all eventually reach 14 and move up to Explorers in Cheltenham. Looking forward to the future.
