Our Beaver night is over...
This Goldthorpe Beaver Scout thinks her Beaver blue tongue is just fab!

Thanks to all the staff at Elsecar Park, and to the leaders and the parent helpers who made this a very enjoyable evening for all - and the rain stayed away for another day!

Cubs Visit Goldthorpe Library

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!
