Naturalist Badge at Creekside Discovery Centre

We popped down to Creekside Discovery Centre in Deptford on Saturday to earn the Naturalist Activity Badge.

After an introduction to the centre and its work from Natalie, our guide…

the scouts set off for some mapping of the creek.

Then we pulled on our waders to explore the creek.

We walked up the creek and back down again while Natalie taught us all about the wildlife that lived there.

We finished off with some fishing and caught a Chinese Mitten Crab and a stickleback

Now it’s just fingers crossed that the badges arrive in time to give out this week!

Thanks to Sam and Don for coming on the trip and making it happen.

Easy peasy scout night

Some nights take weeks of planning while others happen just because it’s a sunny evening.

Goodbye PLs and Well Done Jake

It was the last night for our PLs before making the move up to explorers. They were given a very loud BRAVO and now we’re left looking for six new Patrol Leaders. I’m sure we’ll find some shining examples of scouting brilliance, willing, able, always listening and happy to help… that can’t be too tough, can it?!

George, Frank, Sam, Soph, Josh and Loic (plus Tom and Cormac)

Earned in cubs but it's been sitting in Chris's drawer for a few weeks. Oops.

Pop-Up Dining Gourmet Night for Cancer Research UK

They wrote out invitations to their parents, they planned the meal, they chose a charity (Cancer Research UK) and they served up a Gourmet Dinner for their parents. They had it all set up and put away again in less than 3 hours – google ‘pop up dining’ to see how hip we are… next thing you know, we’ll be wearing specs with no glass in.
