Cheshire Scouts Beaver & Cub Fun Day

Get outside this Funday and try something new! A day of activities for Beavers and Cubs with over 60 activities!

This summer Cheshire Scouts are running a Fun day at Forest Camp in Sandiway. Get active, challenge yourself, meet others, be creative and put your thinking caps on. There’ll be flavours of fun for everyone! Parents can book young people on directly for this event and places have been allocated proportionately by geographic location to give every Beaver and Cub an equal opportunity to attend. We expect places to go very quickly so please don’t hang around!

Programme

The activity programme will include 60 different activities run across four zones with an hour break for lunch. Some Highlights include:

• Archery
• Climbing Wall
• Cave Bus
• Shooting

Scouting is about everyone being able to learn skills for life and have fun. In Mersey Weaver, we would never want a young person to miss out due to cost or because of an access need (if it can be helped). If you’re at all concerned about covering the cost of this activity, need any help with kit or equipment or need more information about the accessibility or any adjustments that we might be able to make, please speak to your leader or email us in complete confidence. There are many ways we can support you. Including through our inclusion fund if your group is not in a position to help.
