Mummy Madness

The 14th Ayrshire Beavers had a great Halloween themed meeting on Friday evening keeping to all Covid guidelines.

All the Beaver Scouts and leaders were spookily dressed up.

The Beavers started the games off by making a Mummy, with the best lodge winning a prize.

The next game was Monster Freeze with prizes going to the best monster dancers and monster poses! Ooh spooky!

Sadly due to Covid there was no Witches Brew this year, so the Beavers decided to rob the witches Cauldron instead! Those young Monsters are fast. Ha ha.

Much to the relief of all the witches the evening moved to striking of the pumpkin Pinata. This was hilarious watching all the young Monsters aim, after they had eaten their body weight in sweets!

The evening finished off with a Monster conga and then all the little monsters departed with a Goody bag each.

Many thanks to all the parents support and Leaders for helping the evening run so smoothly during such unprecedented times.

Here is Where Our Family Scouting Story Begins….

Written by Harris Cattanach – Beaver Scout.

My name is Harris Cattanach and I am seven years old. I’m a Beaver Scout in the 14th Ayrshire Scout group in Prestwick. When my Dad was young he was also a Beaver in the 14th Ayrshire Scout group (Prestwick )which was the first group of Beavers for the 14th!

My dad has recently been tidying the attic and found lots of interesting things from scouting history, like his old cub hat, his scout uniform, two scout flags and a certificate to celebrate 70 years of scouting. My dad doesn’t have as many badges as I do because if you completed a camp you would get a flag instead of a badge. It was interesting to see that my dad’s scouting shirt from over 30 years ago had the exact same badges on the right arm as my Beavers sweatshirt! The flags are from 1978 and 1980 which means that they can’t have belonged to my dad as he was born in 1977 and would only have been a baby then. We’re not sure where they came from but we like that they are a part of scouting history!

At our last Beavers meet up, I brought all of my Dad’s old things to show everyone. Everyone liked the certificate the best. It was given to my dad when he was a cub in 1986 when scouting was 70 years old. I am going to keep all of my Beavers things so I can show them to my kids when I’m older.

Helping Hands

The Beaver Scouts of the 14th Ayrshire Group (Prestwick) have been busy engaging in their Community Impact Stage 1 Activity Badge.

Planned activities included Prestwick Beach Clean, tackling litter around the town of Prestwick, discussing the area in which we all live in and helping less fortunate people in our community, by doing a food drive for our local food bank.
