Visit to Gravetye Estate 11th April 2024 | By Oliver Gidman | One Comment A wonderful, warm afternoon was had at the Gravetye Estate today. A group of Beavers & Cubs got to learn new skills using a variety of hand tools to do some coppicing. The wood will then be used to make a dead hedge. They were all extremely well behaved & were excellent at working in teams & sharing.
Group Camp 2023 2nd October 2023 | By Oliver Gidman | 0 Comments What a weekend! We had 41 young people join us for our group camp this year! The whole camp had an amazing atmosphere! This weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the support from the amazing leaders we had with us. Every leader got stuck in and helped where they could. So on behalf of all the young people, and myself, I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to them. They tried Archery, Angel throwing, Air Rifle shooting, played lots of games and did a lot of being loud and running around! We really hope that all the young people enjoyed their time with us this weekend, here are some photos below from the weekend! Phoebe Woolard – Deputy GSL
