Last week we forgot to take photos but enjoyed a night hike around the park, finding and collecting glow sticks on the way.

In honour of St Andrew’s Day, we held our own Highland Games this week. We played a sheep shearing relay race game with pegs, held a tug of war tournament and tried our hand at caber tossing and welly wanging. 
On Wednesday we gave out another Bronze Award.

This week the beavers were focusing on their teamwork and leadership skills. They did this by working together to turn over a piece of tarp without stepping off, and working together to build the tallest tower and finally they had to draw a hand and write on each finger how they act there promise.

Mon 18th Sept - Pets Corner

As part of our My World challenge, we visited Pets Corner to meet some of the volunteers who help to serve our community. We saw lots of the animals, asked lots of questions about them and took donations of fruit and vegetables to keep the animals well fed!

This week two lodges had a good time doing archery - the second two lodges will have their turn in a couple of weeks.    The rest of the Beavers enjoyed playing some games inside and out in the park.

Beavers - 4th & 6th September 2023

This was the first week back for the Beavers.   We welcomed several new Beavers into the Colony and we wish them well as they join our group.

This week we played games and then, in preparation for the builders badge, the Beavers were asked to draw a model they would like to build from recycling  material.

They were asked to write down any items they felt they would need for the model, in order for them to collect the material over the next few weeks.

 Longford Scouts is an active Scout Group based at the Ranche in Longford Park, Stretford in Manchester. We accept boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 18. We are a registered charity.
