The weather was very kind to us with the Beavers arriving at 1pm, after the opening ceremony they were given lunch and them shown around the 13 acre site. Between 3 and 5pm they were able to get there first taste of rifle shooting and archery, lessons were given by qualified instructors and ably helped by the explorers themselves, all enjoyed the experience and it was noted that amongst the Beavers there was much potential for some excellant sharp shooters. After refreshments the explorers showed the Beavers a range of giant games keeping them busy whilst the leaders and helpers prepared their evening meal, which consisted of a large and varied barbacue. The evening continued with entertainment round the campfire put on by the exploeres, after which some tired Beavers went to bed. Sunday morning was up at 7pm, followed by breakfast, after which the Beavers were split into groups to learn about some of the experiences that the explorers have in camp craft and map reading, this included a talk and shoe of were and how to light fires saftely.
