What you’ve been up to
over the last few months:
1st Brussels Beaver Scouts,
part of British Scouts
Western Europe, managed
to raise over €1,000 for
Children in Need by
raffling a Pudsey cake
made specially by a Beaver
Scout’s mum.
Yorkshire Beaver Scout
Jack received the Gilt Cross
for bravery when rescuing
his three-year-old brother
in a swimming pool.
This issue sees the last of the articles covering the new Programme Zones. And
we are finishing on a high, writes Jenny Winn
It’s not by accident that the Outdoor Zone is in the December/January issue.
We’ve included it to remind you that there are many outdoor type activities that
can be done in the winter months – either preparing for going outside, doing
outdoor activities indoors or doing activities outside.
Many Beaver Scouts don’t have the opportunity to spend time outside during
darker evenings, but it’s exciting to go out all wrapped up clutching a torch to
go exploring even if you’re an adult. You can do activities ranging from star
gazing to playing in the snow (if you have enough snow!). You can finish the
evening with a warming mug of hot chocolate. I have always promised my
Beaver Scouts that if it ever snowed enough during the day of our Beaver night
we will change the programme and
go out and play in the snow. At the
church where my Colony meets, we
are very fortunate to have an enclosed
garden which makes it safe.
We’ve had great feedback on the
Programme Zone series. Many of
you commented that it was useful
linking ideas to the Balanced
Programme. We have taken your
comments on board so over the
next year we will run a series of
articles focusing on the activity and
challenge badges.

The Outdoor Challenge
Mini campsitelet
you will need
• garden canes
• elastic bands
• old sheeting.
Beavers use the equipment to make different types
of tents indoors or outside. These will form a mini
campsite. You could introduce a pet guinea pig,
small rabbit etc, to the campsite and see what
happens – secure the boundary to ensure they
don’t escape and ensure the Beavers don’t scare
the animals.
Rope climbing
Invite the Explorer Scouts or Patrol Leaders to
erect a rope ladder, rope bridge, zip wire, plank
walk etc to form part of a fun obstacle course.
This could be at your local campsite or in the
grounds of your meeting place. The course
could also include a blindfold trail and a
scramble net. Be sure to supervise this.

This is a brilliant badge for
organising your outdoor
activities and for
marking the
Beavers’
achievements at
the end.
The Beaver Scouts
must complete four
activities, at least one from
each area.
Preparing for a visit
• Pack a healthy picnic meal.
• Know what to put in your rucksack for a day visit.
This could be a cagoule, drinks, lunch and
waterproofs, etc.
• Help put up a tent.
Visit
• Go on a visit to a place of interest. This could be a
park, campsite, activity centre, historic building,
beach or similar.
• Visit a Cub Scout Pack holiday or Scout camp.
Adventure
• Take part in an outdoor activity, such as
swimming, climbing, grass sledging, treasure hunt,
canal boating etc.
• Attend a sleepover.
• Learn and use two knots.
• Follow a laid out trail.

Healthy picnics
Use towards
Healthy Eating Activity Badge
Discuss healthy eating with the Beavers. Picnics are
not simply sandwiches, try:
• pitta bread and crackers
• low fat cheese spread instead of high fat
• fruit could be pre-cut and sealed in a bag with a
little fruit juice to keep it fresh
• to keep the picnic cool, place a freezer pack inside
the bag.
Beavers could create their own sandwich, pitta,
and cracker packs. Provide healthy ingredients – low
fat grated cheese, tuna or salad. Remember to
check for allergies.
Visits
Sports taster afternoon
Time to put all that preparation into practice with a
day trip. Here are some ideas – you could ask the
Beavers to name good places they’ve visited with their
families, friends or schools:
• local park
• activity centre
• leisure centre
• farm
• zoo
• science centres
• beach
• steam railway
• maize maze (in season).
You could organise an afternoon at your local
athletics/leisure centre or at your Scout meeting
place. At your local sports centre the Beavers
could enjoy taster sessions of badminton, tennis,
trampolining, hockey, football, martial arts.
Many centres will happily provide staff for this
sort of activity as it promotes sport to their
future customers.
If you don’t have a local centre, why not invite
people from the local area who run sports clubs to
come to the meeting place and put on a taster
session. Again, they will view it as a potential
source of recruits for the future.
Visit a Cub/Scout camp for an afternoon. Work
with the other leaders to find a suitable activity for
your Beavers to take part in but remember it’s the
other section’s camp and you are their guests. You
may wish to hold a camp fire and barbecue together
to round off the day. If you run activity bases,
remember to mix up teams so that you have Beavers
and Cubs in each team. Activities could include a
string trail, treasure hunt, scavenger hunt, sports,
personal and team challenges, wide games.
Put up a tent
Invite the Scouts down to a meeting. The Patrol
Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders go with each
Lodge and Help the Beavers to erect a two or three
person tent.
You could have a competition at the end of the
training session – can the Beavers remember how
to erect the tent without any help?

Bug boxes
What to pack in a daysacklet
you will need
• A daysack filled with items required.
Talk about what items you would need for a
day trip. You could add antibacterial hand gel,
which is useful if there is no water to wash
hands.
Beavers could draw a picture of a daysack with
the items they think they would take with them.
Discuss the pictures and then show them the
contents of your ‘ideal’ day sack.
Play Kim’s Game with the items:
1. Place the items on a table and let the Beavers
look at them for one minute or so.
2. Cover the items with a table cloth.
3. Secretly remove one item. In their Lodges
Beavers try to identify the missing item.
You could also have emergency ponchos for
outings; these can be purchased in bulk over the
internet. They can be used again and again,
simply dry out and fold back up. If you buy them
in bulk (32p each - from www.rainponchos.
co.uk) perhaps you could share the cost within
your District? You could even sell surplus ones
for £1-£1.50 at Group fundraising events if the
weather turns bad!
Like this?
Visit www.scouts.org.uk/pol and
search ‘what shall we take?’
6
Beavers could make a bug box in their Lodges.
These could be positioned outside the building or
Beavers with a garden could take them home. At a
later date the boxes could be checked on to see
which creatures have taken up residence.
Visit
www.gardnersworld.com or
www.bbc.co.uk and search ‘bug box’
Sleepover
If you have organised a sleepover before at your
meeting place, why not try a different venue, for
example a school hall, village hall or religious centre.
If it is your first sleepover then it is best to try it at
the Scout meeting place so it will be familiar to
everyone.
Follow a trail
Scouts or Young Leaders use a squeezy bottle filled
with water to leave a trail of arrows on the (dry!)
pavement on an area around your meeting place.
Beavers, in small groups, have to follow the trail
before it dries! Alternatively, you could use small
dabs of old flour to mark the route.
At the local campsite, teach basic tracking and lay
a trail of arrows using sticks, set out by Scouts,
Explorer Scouts or Young Leaders. See factsheet
Tracking (FS170058).

brand new eco-themed Imagination
K
ids TV channel, Jetix, sponsor of the exciting
Beaver Imagination Activity Badge, has been
overwhelmed by the fantastic interest it’s
received in the badge and the associated
‘create a hero’ competition. Feedback from leaders and
Beavers alike has been hugely positive, highlighting the
activities set for the badge have been inspiring the
imaginations of Beaver Scouts across the UK.
A prize-winning imagination
The winner of the ‘create a hero’ Colony competition is
Ryan Gosling from 1st Stubbington Beavers. Ryan showed
great imagination when he designed and produced his
hero from a range of recycled materials, a requirement
which was crucial to completing the Jetix Imagination
Activity Badge.
Building on the success of the first Jetix sponsored
badge, Jetix is producing a brand new activity pack which
encourages Beavers to do their bit for Planet Earth in a fun
and imaginative way. Joined by a raft of fresh and popular
characters, the pack looks set to spark Colony creativity
and imagination.
Win some exclusive prizes
The D-team from Dinosaur King and the Monster Buster
Club crew will be asking Beavers to use the power of their
imagination to create a dinosaur-themed draft excluder. If
everyone used a draft excluder we would be insulating our
homes more effectively and wouldn’t need to use as much
energy to heat them. Another activity is writing a short
story which describes what life will be like in the year 2050
if we all do our bit to look after Planet Earth. Lastly,
working together as a Beaver Lodge, they will need to
write a list of energy busting tasks that can be done to
help the environment. The activities are intended to
demonstrate that small but simple actions could help
reduce our impact on the planet and protect it for the future.
Beavers can get plenty of inspiration by visiting
www.jetix.co.uk. In addition, all Colonies who work
towards the Imagination Badge will be in with a chance of
winning some exclusive prizes by logging on to the
dedicated Beavers site at www.jetix.co.uk/beavers

You will need: Two dinosaur footprints cut from MDF or thick
cardboard, with string handles, per Lodge.
1. In relay formation, Beaver Scouts walk using the dino footprints
from one end of the meeting place to the other.
2. They hand the footprints to the next player and so on until all the
team has had a turn.
Creative
Follow themes
You will need: Small sand pit or similar, bag of sand, small beads or the
silver balls used in catering, sieves, a container each.
1. Beaver Scouts sift through the sand to try and find the silver balls.
2. Once found, place in their container. The Beaver Scouts with the
most is deemed best archaeologist!
Creative
Follow themes
You will need: Plastic disposable bowl per Beaver Scout, plastic forks,
water, plaster of paris, shells, and spray oil.
1. Beaver Scouts make their plaster of paris in the plastic bowl under
close supervision.
2. Spray the outside of the shell with oil and place upside-down in the
hardening plaster.
3. Once the plaster is hard remove the shell to leave a plaster ‘fossil’
120 million years compressed into 15 minutes.

You will need: Paper, pens, feely bags, ‘organic’ items to go in the
bags: chicken bone, shell, stick, charcoal, sponge, fir cone. Label the
bags with numbers.
1. Beaver Scouts take it in turns to feel what is in each bag.
2. When they have decided, they either draw a picture or write the
item on the paper under the correct number.
3. When everyone has had a turn, check the answers, how did they
do? Did they find it easy or hard?
Global
Play games
You will need: Bunch of keys or similar ‘treasure’ on the floor at one
end of the meeting place, chair, water pistol, blindfold.
1. A Beaver Scout sits down at the end of the hall with the blindfold on
and the water pistol ready.
2. One Beaver Scout at a time is chosen to creep up and try to grab the
treasure from the ‘tomb’.
3. The blindfolded Beaver Scout has five shots only of the water pistol.
If they manage to shoot the raider they have won; if the raider grabs
the treasure unscathed, the raider wins.
4. Swap the ‘guardian’ after a few turns.

but how do we manage on dark wi

and forethought, says Maggie Ble
Keeping fit with outdoor games and sports
Unless your meeting place is tiny, you can still play most of
the popular outdoor games. A play parachute, team games,
a compact obstacle course, football or even tennis can be
just as much fun indoors.
If you have access to any canoes, perhaps an expert can
take the Beavers for a ‘dry canoeing’ session – thrills
without the spills.
Round the campfire
Now’s the time to get out that indoor
campfire, which can be as simple as a torch
covered with orange tissue paper. Get them
singing all the old favourites to get them in
the mood and then get down to some
campfire cooking. If you have a kitchen or a
grilling machine, you can cook those
ever-popular hot dogs, or get the Beavers
making some healthy vegetable kebabs
with wholemeal pita. If you don’t have any
cooking facilities, let them choose from a
selection of cold cooked sausages,
tomatoes, cubes of mild cheese, pineapple
chunks, grapes etc. For a delicious sweet
indulgence, try some real backwoods
cooking! To make it a little more healthy,
use chunks of banana, or if you’re feeling
more decadent, use marshmallows. They’ll
love it!

• bananas cut into chunks and/or marshmallows
• wooden skewers
• squares of chocolate
• 12-hole tartlet cake tin(s)
• a roasting rack or grill grid
• tea lights and matches.
Ensuring that the Beavers are being carefully supervised,
light the tea lights and place under the rack. Place the cake
tins on top and give each Beaver a square of chocolate to
melt in a section. You’ll be surprised how quickly it works!
While they wait, let them each skewer a banana chunk or
marshmallow ready to dip in the melted chocolate.

Minibeast hunt
No, I’m not suggesting you fill the hall with live
bugs, but you can hide pictures or toy creepy
crawlies around your meeting place. Make it more
realistic by hiding some of them under stones,
paper leaves or in hardy indoor plants. When the
Beavers have found them, see how many they can
identify. Round it off by letting them make a model
or drawing of their favourites.
They would have fun making this sparkly snail.
Slithery snail
Build a cabin
How about a spot of indoor camping? Provide each
Lodge with a selection of materials, such as a
groundsheet, poles, blankets, clothes pegs, chairs,
cardboard boxes and rope and let them work
together to build their own cabin. For full details,
you will find this great idea on Programmes Online.
Just search ‘cabin’ in the keyword box.
Scouting fun
Borrow some leaders, older Cubs, Scouts or
Explorers to help run bases. The Beavers visit each
base in their Lodges for a given time.
Knotting:
Teach the Beavers a couple of simple knots and, to
add interest, some examples of their uses.
Cooking:
If you have access to a grill, try muffin pizzas. Use
tomato sauce as a base and let the Beavers top
them with ham, sliced peppers, grated cheese and
so on. An adult or young leader then puts them
under the grill to melt the cheese. Always
remember to check first for dietary requirements.
you will need
• holographic card
• plain card
• double-sided foam stickers
• marker pens
• coloured pencils
• a large sewing needle and thread
• paper clips
• small goggle eyes (optional).
Before the meeting:
For each snail, cut out two mirror image shell
templates from holographic card. Cut one snail
body from plain card.
At the meeting:
1. Beavers colour in their snails and draw in a mouth
and an eye on each side or stick on goggle eyes.
2. Help them to thread cotton through the head for
antennae.
3. Secure with a knot and trim, then pinch the two
ends together to make them stand up.
4. Using marker pens, the Beavers draw a spiral on
each shell piece, then stick the two pieces together
at the top only, with foam pads.
5. Use a paper clip to attach the body to the
bottom edge on the inside of one shell piece, so
that the snail can slide in and out of its shell.
Team building:
Have a supply of rolled up newspapers ready for
sticks. The Beavers collect the ‘sticks’ and take them
to a predetermined spot, where they work together
to build a lodge or dam.

say: ‘The man opens the door – we follow him inside’.
Above is a standard four picture strip cartoon layout. You
can also use larger boxes, depending on how complicated
your story is.
How does storyboarding work?
It’s a bit like a cartoon that you see in a comic book or
in a newspaper, but much longer. The longer and more
complicated the film, the more storyboards you will need.
A storyboard picture is great for showing everyone how
you want the scene or shot to look and work.
But I can’t draw!
Doesn’t matter! You can use simple stick figures. All that
matters is that you give an idea of where you want the
actors to be and when you want them to be there. To
start with try telling a story in four pictures, like a strip
cartoon. What makes a storyboard different from a
cartoon is that they don’t use speech bubbles. Instead
they might have descriptive words or instructions
The templates
Download the templates from
www.scouts.org.uk/pol. Search ‘storyboard’
Cartooning
Why not extend the idea and make your own comic
book? The Beavers can either all write their own cartoons,
or collaborate. Professional comic writers often work in
pairs, one doing the pictures, the other the words.
Here you will use speech bubbles, because that is how

you tell the story. Have a look at some professional
cartoons, either from a comic book or a newspaper. See
how different the styles are. Don’t worry if it takes several
goes, all the professionals do pencil drawings in rough
first. They might rub out and draw over again and again
before finally inking in. One last thing to decide: will you
do simple line drawings, just black ink on white
background, or full colour comic book style?
one after the other on the computer screen and either add
the voices and sound effects as you show the pictures.
The more frequently you take the pictures and then the
quicker you show them, the more like a movie the finished
product will look. To get to what appears to be a true
moving image to the eye you’ll need 16 images for every
second, that’s 9,600 in 10 minutes – and a lot of patience.
Take it another step – animate!
Challenge your Beavers to make their own short stories,
and then have a movie evening complete with popcorn
and hot dogs! You could even go one step further and
hold an awards ceremony. Get the Beavers to think up the
categories and invite a panel of judges and see who
becomes a movie star!
In feature length movie cartoons drawn storyboards are
not quite enough. This is because there are several
animators (hundreds even) working on the movie, and
possibly more than one on each scene. To make absolutely
sure everyone is working to the same vision for the scene
an animated version of the storyboard may be produced,
complete with sound.
All you really need is a digital camera and a computer to
display the images. Take photographs as your characters
act out the story. You can then get the pictures to display
