Beavers
After attending for a few weeks Beavers are invested during a short ceremony, where they are asked to make their promise-
“I promise to do my best, to be kind and helpful and to love God.”
During this ceremony, which parents are invited to attend, the Beaver is presented with a welcome certificate, log book and the Group red and black neckerchief. He will also be presented with badges that he will wear throughout his Scouting journey in Llanishen and Lisvane Scout Group. These include the World Badge, which is worn by all Scouts in the world, the Welsh dragons, Area, District and Group badges.
The Beaver Motto is “Fun and Friends”. We aim to provide an exciting opportunity to make new friends, develop new skills, learn to respect others and the world around them. These activities are undertaken individually or in groups.
We are fortunate to have a large field adjacent to the hall which we use whenever possible. During the summer we can do bug hunts, leaf printing, wide games, using a compass, putting up tents, etc. In the winter we go outside to to look at the stars.
Visits away from the Scout Hall have included a fire station, police station, road safety centre, Western Mail printing works and Pets at Home. Visits to look at our natural environment have included a number of visits to the local woodlands for pond dipping and other activities, accompanied by the park ranger.
We have visitors to our meetings so Beavers may complete badges: a community police officer, St. Johns ambulance, dentist, nurse and Tai chi instructor.
There are numerous other fun activities we undertake: cooking, painting, junk modelling, tying knots and food tasting.
We have had fun at sleepovers at the Scout Hall and the Summer Group Camp
Hopefully the above information has given you a brief insight into what the Beaver Colony has to offer and will encourage you to start your adventure in the Scout movement.
