Big Breakfast at the Community Shop Cafe

By Unknown
On Friday 7th November, 15 Beaver Scouts enjoyed pizza making for tea, and BBQ'd banana & chocs and Scout wagonwheels.  Then they had a glowstick hunt and firework display in the grounds, followed by a movie evening with hot chocolate, getting ready for bed around 9 O'clock.

Saturday morning brought a breakfast treat, as by special arrangement the Community Shop Cafe was opened within the Goldthorpe Community Shop.

The Beavers were offered a range of delicious foods, from fresh fruit, pan-au-chocolate with a Full English in between.  Filling up with cups of tea, fresh juices and milk.

Goldthorpe Beavers with Mr John Marren
Being greeted by Mr John Marren, the driving force behind the Community Shop concept, the Beavers were waited on, and John even served a few of his guests himself.  

Breeze (Andrea Reid) has worked with John at Company Shop Limited for over 25 years and was delighted, just as John was, being able to bring together these 2 community assets, within a year of both of them opening.

Thank you to all leaders and adult supporters with special thanks to Debbie and Chris for preparing the feast, and to John and his team for allowing it all to happen.

We also would like to thank policeman Shaun McDermott and his colleague for their company on Friday evening, checking that we were all safe and sound.

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!
