Beavers ran lots of relay races to remember to eat their five a day, which worked towards their Health and Fitness badge.  They also continued building their Money Skills by learning about how goods were exchanged before money was invented through bartering. They practiced their bartering skills by collecting a full set of fruit. 

Cubs and leaders alike had a great time practicing new circus skills with Sam . From juggling to spinning diablos, tightrope walking to balancing peacock feathers, everyone had a fantastic time! This fun session was offered at no extra cost. It was funded jointly by the group and a workplace donation. Check your workplace policies and see if you can bring some cheer to our young people.
