A couple of weeks ago, Aaron got his 20 metres swimming certificate. He was very proud to achieve this and wasn’t actually very far away from a full length, which is 25 metres, but got too tired as he reached the 20 metre point. We are very proud of him for reaching this level! X

Last Friday at Beavers, Aaron received 2 more badges. One was a 1st Aid badge and the second was an adventure type badge. He was very pleased!

For their session, they had to go for a ‘midnight’ adventure walk, which he thought was great and then they went back to the Scout Hut and watched a film with popcorn, sweets and hot chocolate. The children also had the option to stay the night in the hut (with a parent) but Aaron didn’t want to do this, and we weren’t very keen either. So Kelly went up to watch the film with him and then brought him home after. He was tired out anyway and wanted his own bed to sleep in! 😉

In the final session before Christmas, the Beavers group had a Christmas Party. Father Christmas popped in as well and gave them all a small present each and parents made goodies to leave with the children for the party. Aaron really enjoyed it and ate lots including pizza, buns and other yummy stuff. He really enjoyed his first full term at Beavers and it is great what they are getting up to and teaching him.

Last week Aaron completed his 10 metre swim and received his certificate and badge. This morning, we saw him being given his certificate in assembly by Mrs Conday. He is very close to completing Stage 3 swimming now as well, so he is doing very, very well! X

The other evening at Beavers, Aaron did some cooking, to get his cooking/food badge. He made some pizza, some fruit kebabs and some chocolate crispies and really enjoyed it. Kelly was roped into helping as well, so she took charge of the chocolate crispy making (and she enjoyed it as well!). He also received his experiment badge, from a few weeks ago, so Aaron now has his next couple of badges, which are now stitched to his Beavers jumper. Well done Aaron!
