Beavers Trails Day – February 2012
The next county event for Beavers is the County Trails Day on Sunday February 12th in Curraghchase Forest Park from 11.00pm until 1.30.pm. It will involve a track/trail walk, which will incorporate five bases along the trail

The barrier at the entrance to the forest will be raised for half an hour before the event and for half an hour at the end. Anyone arriving after these slots will have to pay the five euro admission fee.
The event costs €3 per Beaver and this must be paid next Monday. You must also confirm your son’s attendance by text to Barry by next Friday 3rd February.

Beaver Notes Dec 2011
Dear Parents
We would like to thank you for all your support over the past few months. We’ve been busy introducing the Beavers to the ONE Programme and we’ve a lot more exciting activities planned for the next couple of months.
Jam Oige
At our last parents meeting we discussed the possibility of attending Jam Oige, the Jamboree for Beavers and Cubs on June 3rd/4th in Ardgillan Castle, Dublin. The event is estimated to cost €60-€80 but we are currently looking at ways to lower this cost.
A €10 deposit is required next Monday in order for us so we know how many beavers will attend this event. Please include this in an envelope with your son’s name on it.
Christmas Party
Next week we will be holding our Christmas Party for all our Beavers. For this we would like all beavers to bring up their letter to Santa on the night. This will be our last meeting until January 9th.
Investiture
Just a date for your diary- we will be having our investiture ceremony on Monday 6th February in the Scout Hall. This is where we formally welcome our new beavers into the Scout Movement, a worldwide family of over 30 million people. Family members are welcome on this night.

All sections (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Ventures and Rovers) and the officers will give their annual reports. One parent per child is asked to attend this meeting. Its a great opportunity to meet the scouters and to find out what each section has been up to in the past year.
Beavers Helping Others
There will be no Beaver Meeting next week due to the Bank Holiday. Instead the Beavers have been given a project as part of the ONE Programme. The project is based on “Helping Others”
Plan- talk about how you can help others
Do – Keep a Helping others diary
Review- Discus how you helped others- how did you do it? Was it fun?
Group Registration night
Thanks to everyone who showed up to our registration night last night. It was decided this year that we would collect the registration fee and sort out consent forms on one night. This really makes it easier for the group to sort out our registration to Scouting Ireland on time. Thanks to all the Scouters for their hard work getting ready for last night. Thanks also to the scouts and ventures who had a stall about their upcoming international adventures.
If you didn’t attend last night, you need to come up at the start of next week’s meetings to pay the registration fee and fill out the membership/consent forms. The forms can be downloaded in our Resources section. A further €30 must be paid by the end of October and the final €80 must be paid for by the end of February.
Two important dates for your diary:
- Group AGM – Thursday 10th November @ 8pm. Scout Hall
- Table Quiz - Thursday 17th November @ 8pm. Na Parsaigh GAA Club
