Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Beavers had a great year. Despite the
challenges of COVID, attendance has been
at 90% overall. In the first term 90%
achieved their bronze awards for all badges
completed. Trips included Blaise
orienteering and going to the Downs. Before
lockdown we were able to invest new
beavers face to face and had a bonfire and
fireworks. Although the second term was
online, we still did lots of great activities. In
term 3 we returned to face-to-face activities
including completing the cyclist’s badge, a
trip to Leigh Woods, a trip to Airhop and
Fathers’ Day activities.
When Cubs returned face to face meetings
in the Autumn they learnt fencing and about
space from Space Dave on Zoom. Virtual
Ranger Stu taught us a lot about the
armadillo. We also learnt about astronomy
and mastered the virtual whiteboard! At
Christmas we took part in the County
competition to designing a card. Our sixers
ran a virtual night with presentation and quiz
for which we were really proud of them. In
the Summer term we were back to face-to-
face activities. We did den building, a wide
range ofgames,a chipshophike,

pioneering and knot work. The cubs chose to focus on the environment for their community badge and each won a Blue Peter badge. We had 19 investitures in total and 15 chief scout awards. Currently 27 cubs with more to join in the new year. Really good attendance of Scouts via Zoom and group meetings. The Scouts worked on their Stage 3 badge walk in place of camp. There were many activities including: an escape room, a virtual hike a virtual weekend winter camp, a visit from the Bristol Mayor and working on our cooking skills. In the Summer term the Scouts took part in the Jamboree, axe throwing, pioneering, working on the Green Influences Project, planting seeds and clearing part of Blaise Estate. There was also a camp on the Wye River.
