Feb 2018: A visit from a vet; science night; scuba diving; and a fire station visit

Beavers
Grace the vet from The Royal Veterinary College spent an evening with Beavers. She told them all
about being a Vet, and showed some Animal Bones and X-rays. The Beavers all took part in doing
some sketches of the bones, and made some great Clay Animal Models. They also got to dress up
as Vets in some Surgical Gowns!

Cubs
There was an electric evening for Mowgli Cub Pack. The cubs learnt about static, with one of the
girls having a real bad hair day thanks to a ballon! Then they went on to make a circuit using wire,
potatoes, a nail, and a copper coin to make a L.E.D light up. They got some good results - 2.8 volts -
and also did the same experiment with lemons.

Jacala Cubs had a fantastic day trying out Scuba diving at Radley College swimming pool. On one
evening, they cooking delicious egg fried rice and toffee sesame bananas, which counts towards the
International Badge.


Scouts
Our Sea Scouts have been working towards their Fire Safety badges this month, which included the
Troop visiting Kidlington Fire Station. They’ve also had fun evenings modelling balloons and making pancakes.

The Land Scouts programme for this term includes bee conservation and building basla wood
gliders.

Explorer Scouts
Our Explorer Scouts held a late Christmas camp in January, as many of them had been busy with
mock exams in December. They had a full Christmas dinner (with a formal dress code!), watched
Christmas films and visited the trampoline park in Bicester.
