An Activity Consent form must be completed for each Beaver going on camp. We will be asking parents to complete these for tomorrow (Tue) evening’s Beaver meeting in Knockdoemore.
The form can be printed out and completed in advance if that is more convenient. Alternatively, we will have forms available for completion with us on Tuesday evening.
The form required is available here.
Claregalway Beaver Scouts will be going on camp this June with Beaver groups from all over county Galway at the County Camp 2016.
The camp will take place in Portlick Scout Campsite near Athlone on the weekend of June 10-12.
This promises to be a great weekend with activities such as kayaking, archery, obstacle courses and more planned.
We will provide full details soon but for now we need to get numbers of Beavers that plan to go. The camp will be from Friday evening until Sunday morning.
The cost of the weekend will be approx €35 per Beaver which includes a subsidy from the group so it is great value. This includes camp, food for Sat & Sun morning (packed lunch for Fri) and all activities. We hope to not require a bus and to transport everyone and everything by car.
In order to reserve a place, we need to collect a deposit of €15 per Beaver by Tue May 3. Please text back to 086 0545329 with Beaver name and yes/no for camp.

We have a visit to Lisheenkyle Woods planned for tomorrow evening (Tue Apr 5) for Beavers.
We’ll have a nature walk through the woods and we also plan to have a short Investiture ceremony.
The Investiture is a special ceremony where Beavers who joined this year formally make their Beaver Scout Promise and become a member of the Beaver Colony.
Dropoff/pickup will be at Lisheenkyle national school at 6.30/7.30pm.
The Beaver skills & games county event is coming up this Sunday, April 3. Please note that there is an earlier start time now of 12.30pm in Esker.

What to Bring
Parking
Parking is available at the entrance to the Youth Village where registration will take place. There will be stewards to assist on the day. Please drive slowly on approach.
Parents to Assist
As we are involved in several activities on the day as well as escorting our own Beavers around, all of the Beaver Scouters available will be there. In addition, if any parents are available to attend the event and assist, we would really appreciate it. Please text 086 0545329 to let us know if you can help.
Food
We will have a lunch base on the day where Beavers will receive breaded chicken strips, with cheese or salad in a wrap, a small bottle of water and a piece of fruit. However, it’s a long day so we advise Beavers to bring a packed lunch and drink also.
