Last Friday, 22\/02\/08, we celebrated Founders Day by holding a party for our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and their parents.<\/p>\n

Founders Day is where Scouts (Guides celebrate Thinking Day) across the world celebrate the birthday of Baden-Powell. BP would have been 151 this year!<\/p>\n

The party was also the first event of the year to celebrate our Group's centenary.<\/p>\n

The evening started with the District Commissioner awarding two of the Cubs their  Chief Scout's Silver Awards, the highest award a Cub can get!<\/p>\n

Then it was silly games time. These included eating a bar of chocolate with a knife and fork and wrapping people up in loo roll to see who could make the best 'mummy'!<\/p>\n

The parents then joined us for the talent show. It started off with the Beavers singing 'Singing in the Rain' campfire style. Then some slightly older 'Beavers' led everyone in a chant. We think they got a bit confused as Paul wore a Guide jumper,  Rachael a Burslem neckerchief and Don a Bradwell neckerchief! One of the Beavers then showed he could out stare the audience!<\/p>\n

Five parents were then volunteered to see how many marshmallows they could fit in their mouths and still say "Chubby Bunnies"! Lyndon won by a long stretch!<\/p>\n

The Cubs impressed us with some magic, joke telling, rolling displays and cello playing. The Scouts chickened out!<\/p>\n

It was then time for a buffet and finally the disco and karaoke!<\/p>\n

It was a slightly chaotic, silly, but very enjoyable evening. What more could you want??? \"Wink\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
