|**A summary of the**<br>**Charity’s main activities**<br>**and achievements in the**<br>**yea**|The Beaver Section of the Group remained active during the year<br>with the boys benefitting greatly from art and multi sport<br>workshops. They took part in a full and balanced programme of<br>craft, active games, stories, songs, visits and talks in order to<br>educate and develop them physically, intellectually,<br>emotionally, socially and spiritually. Parents reported that their<br>children looked forward to the meetings and membership and<br>attendance was high throughout the year. Charity work was also<br>taken upon. Activities included: Getting to know each other,<br>Autumn Camp, Halloween/Christmas/Easter crafts & parties,<br>Chinese New Year, outdoor explorations, end of season party.<br>Activiites for the Cub/Scout Sections have previously included:<br>memory games, strategy games and learning activities, ball<br>game, Bag Packing at local supermarket, residential joint camps<br>(with Guiding), visits eg: Go Karting; but despite great effort is<br>has not been possible to recruit additional leaders. Therefore the<br>sections have unfortunately not met during the year. It is hoped<br>that that the Sections return to their weekly meetings as soon as<br>possible.|
