So, since the open weekend the Explorers made a flintstone car out of huge barrels and pioneering poles. It worked really well but one axle broke, the holes in the barrels are a bit too big now and theres a rather large dent in the hedge which was used as the brakeing system 
Last week they went kayaking, hopefully we’ll get them going towards gaining there 1 star award.
The Beavers had the local Police Community Support Officer visit recently. The Beavers got to try on his Police hats and jacket, they got to go in the Police car and turn the syrens on.
Last night the Monday Beaver colony visited the Lifeboat Station in Bude. Our newest Beaver Leader got all booted up in the Lifeboat crews gear. It was a very good evening.
On the 14th we had our group centenary party. The scouts were entertained by Mr Showers, they had hot dogs and decorated buns which we put together to make the number 100 to go infront of us in our group picture. The winners from the centenary badge design got awarded with prizes. There was a great turn out from the kids with nearly all the group there, about 120.
Saturday was the Cubs raft race on the Canal. I went down ans helped out a little in the morning with making a raft and in the afternoon they raced them across the canal. One raft wasn’t going anywhere as it was too unstable, the kids got on and would come straight off into the water. They all had fun and got to jump in at the end, why they would want to i don’t know cus the water looks disgusting!
On Sunday it was the Beavers football tournement. There was one team from each of our local groups. Our team and Jacobstows both scored a goal in the last game so both teams will share the shield this year. Our Beavers did fantasticly.
This weekend i’ve got an Explorer camp at Nineashes and were bag packing at the local supermarket to get some more money for Kandersteg. Where nearly there with our fundraising, with the next too bag packs we should just about reach our target of £7000. 
Ive recently finished making the groups new website which is looking pretty sweet. We had problems with the old one so had to start from scratch so i was asked to take over the job. The new website can be found here http://budescouts.giving.officelive.com/
