Beaver sleepover

I got back today from our Beaver sleepover which was held in Tintagel.

We took Thursday group beavers as a special treat to celebrate our 100th birthday!!

After we all arrived we headed on down to the castle.  We took a walk into Merlins cave, skimmed stones on the sea then headed up the hundreds of steps to the island where the main castle was.  The cliffs were very steep and it’s a mircale we came back with all the Beavers!  The weather was fantastic and we could see all the way up the coast to Bude!!  There were a lot of emmits at the castle and it was a very pretty place.  Will defo have to go back some time, minus the Beavers!

We then headed back to the village where we stopped for an ice cream before going to Arthurs Great hall.  Unfortuently we upset the man who runs the halls because the Beavers were a little loud, but when you put 6-8 year olds in a big empty hall what do you expect! specially as 2 of the leaders were running around with them playing hide and seek! :D The Beavers really enjoyed themselves so thats all that matters! :D

We then went to the Old Post Office where the Beavers were split into two groups to do a quiz around the Post office.  It’s run by the National Trust and they gave us stickers and Easter eggs for the Beavers :D

It was then back to the hall where the Beavers made lanterns and wands.  They all made pizza’s for their tea and we played some games. 

Just as it was getting dark we went for a walk upto the church and then along the cliffs where we set off some Chinese lanterns. 

The Beavers mostly slept well as they were pretty tired after the days events.

This morning after breakfast they went for a little walk through the village, played some games then it was home time.  They all got a sleepover badge and one got a Bear Grylls dvd for being the best behaved.

Once they’d all gone i then went on to Boscastle for a walk and look around before heading  home :D
