2011-11-19 – District Beaver Camp Fire

District Beaver Camp Fire Day Saturday 19th Nov 2011

Lower Grange Farm Maidstone, Kent Scout H.Q  played host to Dartford Beavers including Beavers from both the 5th Dartford Scout Group’s Philpott and Edwards Colonies.

With a wonderful warm, sunny November day, the Beavers spent the afternoon exploring the woods finding all sorts of leaves, berries and mini-beasts. Collecting piles of wood ready for the camp fire which was transported across the fields by a human chain of Beavers and pond dipping in the stream.

Then back to ‘The Barn’ for Hot Dogs and Drinks followed by a brilliant hour round the camp fire singing traditional CampFire songs.

I bet every Beaver fell asleep on the way home happy and exhausted, I know the Leaders in my car did.
