Goldthorpe Beavers celebrate St. George

By Unknown
A 21st century St. George for sure



















Goldthorpe Beavers enjoyed a night of St.George, starting off with making helmets, shields, fair maiden masks and hats, and the all important dragons.

Beavers at work making their play masks














That's a colourful dragon!


















1 fair maiden to rescue from the dragon St. George!














Fair maidens all in a row, St.George on his trusty steed
and the dragon was just out of shot on the left!
















Those shields might not stand up to the firey dragons breath














It looks like all the fair maidens have been rescued this time














Charge!


















Goldthorpe Beavers are all ready for celebrating St. George's day on Wednesday 23rd April, are you?

Did you know that St.George is the patron saint of Scouts?
Baden-Powell chose Saint George to be the Patron Saint of The Scout Association. He felt that the Saint George of legend set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance for future generations.

Cubs Visit Goldthorpe Library

By
Last week the cubs paid a visit to the local library in Goldthorpe as part of their  Book Reader Activity Badge They had a great time as they learnt about the difference between Fiction and Non-Fiction. They discovered where to look in the library for a dictionary and how to use a thesaurus. They found out how the library catalogues their books so that you can find them easily and how you should care for your books so that they last a lifetime. The next stage in this badge is for the cubs to read 6 books. They should be able to name the authors and be able to tell the other cubs about the books they have read. Thanks very much to the staff at the library for showing our cubs the ropes!
