The Tuesday Beavers had a visit from a Metropolitan Police Officer this week, but despite the handcuffs we’re assured he wasn’t on official business! The children loved trying on his equipment – we may have inspired some future police officers.
Our Cubs enjoyed a fantastic morning of water activities, together with cubs from other groups around Tonbridge. They tried out kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, rafting, power boating and rowing, but by far the favourite activity on such a scorching day was jumping in the river!

Troop enjoyed a beautiful sunset hike last week, some took scenic detours but all made it to the planned finish!

They had an action packed programme of swimming, hiking, abseiling, low ropes, camp fires and catapult building! Sunday afternoon saw an exhausted (but still smiling) group, full of sausages and chocolate bananas. Huge thanks …

We were all really disappointed that the St George’s Day Parade was cancelled due to the bad weather, but we’re very proud of everyone at 2nd Tonbridge. You all worked hard to prepare either as part of the Colour Party or to parade with your Sections, and we know you would have marched enthusiastically …
Our Friday night Beavers enjoyed a very muddy trip to Cart Wood, building fires (despite the rain!) and playing games.
