2011 Gillwell Funday

The Beavers and Cubs had an activity packed day at Gillwell on the 18th June this year.

On arrival at Gillwell, the UK Scouting headquarters, the Cubs and Beavers were issued with their passes to allow them on all the activities.

The first activity of the day was Archery and then the Cubs and Beavers moved onto the climbing wall. There were two walls on site one for the Cubs and one for the Beavers and our Cubs beat the Beavers to climbing first. Having climbed the wall the Cubs went off to have lunch... by the time the Beavers climbed the rain had started to fall and they had a wet and slippery climb to the top.

After lunch we all headed to the Zip Wire and Water Slide, before heading to the simulators for a helicopter ride and rally race!

Before leaving the Cubs and Beavers spent some time on the bouncy castles.

Gillwell funday will be taking place again next year on the 23rd and 24th June 2012.

The Cubs had a shorter wait than the Beavers and so went first...

With the Cubs finishing it was nearly time for the Beavers. Whilst the Cubs went to find lunch the Beavers started to climb...
