                   The Beaver Scouts at Castletown House in June and with the Garda in the Den also in June 

Our Outing before we closed for the summer holidays was to Castletown House inCelbridge.  We joined with the Tuesday Beavers and travelled by public bus.  We then walked up to the house and saw lots of squirrels and birds in the trees.  The day was nice and sunny and there were lots of people about.  We had a game of Football and it was decided that teh Teams would be England and France.  Denis was the Referee and he very quickly ran out of yellow and red cards.  It ended in a draw match.  Rowena Breen was teh scorekeeper with help from Conor Coughlin and Mark Mulqueen.  We then went for a quided tour of the house.  All the rooms are beautiful but we all agreed that that the one with all teh transfers on the wall was the best.  Next stop was the Courtyard for lunch and face painting by Mairead.  The day passed very quickly and in the end we haed to run to catch the bus.

Many thanks to the Garda who visited theBeavers on the 17th June and who had so much patience with them.  He spoke to them about many things, in particular how to stay safe for the summer when everyone is out and about and the Beavers asked a lot of questions.  They sang ” Tom the Toad” with actions for him.  This song wxplains what can happen to us if we are not very careful on the road.  Each Beaver was presented with a ” Wanted Poster” withtheir photo on it.  The photo had been taken 9 months previously and it was amazing to see how much each child had changed.  He said hewould be delighted to visit us again so we gave him a box of chocolates for being so nice.

Before we closed we had a party and our Annual Talent Show.  Lots of Irish dancing, singing and jokes.  The Judges agreed and disagreed but eventulaay decided that the winners were Keelan O’ Connell and SeanNewman.

We will miss the Beavers who have left us for the Cub Scouts and in september we will welcome 12 new Beavers Scouts.

Our new Programme will not begin untill 2011.  There is a lot to be done yet and we all to do new training.  At the moment there is a delay on the new Books that we all need.  The age for Beavers Scouts will now be 6 to 9 years.

 We will open on the 9th September. The annual Cill Dara County Weekend in Larch Hill, Dublin we be on the 24/25/26 of September.  Tuesday and Thursday Beavers will go on Saturday teh 25th September for the day and we will travel my private bus.  We will join up with the rest of the Clane Unit who will camp for the weekend. This is aday not to be missed and we normally get good weather.

Anne.
