District Beavers Fun with Food Day
On Sunday 9th Feb 20 Philpott Beavers and 9 Peacock Beavers joined another 72 Beavers from all around Dartford for the Bi-Annual ‘Fun with Food Day’ held at Scout House and Lutonia Hall in Broomhill Road and boy did we all have fun!
Four hours of tasting, touching and making all sorts of food.
The list included mini savoury sandwiches, exotic fruit cocktail, raw and cooked fish, chocolate fountain, Mississippi Mud Pies, Micro-wave cakes in a mug, iced/decorated biscuits, mini pancakes, knotting spaghetti and a very educational Quiz about hidden sugar and salt in products.
Luckily as it stayed dry the Beavers were able to have a run around in the garden and play organised games for the last half-hour to burn off some of those calories, whilst the Leaders were busy clearing up the mess!!
A good lot of work done towards their Healthy Eating Badge.
Once again, we’re collecting the Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers, which help us with the cost of some of our activity equipment for the younger members. As always, the collection box will be just inside the entrance to out hall.
Local Heroes is Sainsbury’s scheme to recognise and reward the amazing contribution their staff make to charities and activities in the local community. The scheme offers matched funding for employees raising funds for charity and one such hero is Christina Boyd, who raised £190 for the 5th Dartford Scout Group this September, which Sainsbury’s have matched. This generous contribution is in addition to our status as Sainsbury’s Crayford’s local charity of the year where the staff and management are going all out to help us with our fundraising for our programme of adventurous activities for our young members. Well done Christina and thank you Sainsbury’s.
