The Three Towns district beaver sleepover this November was held in Trentham Scout House. Beavers from Hartshill, Sea Scouts, Meir Park, Blythe Bridge, Dresden, and of course Trentham all attended. We had a Medieval theme for this sleepover. The Scout house was decorated with rows of bunting and displays of colony flags. The beavers were put into teams for the weekend, all different coloured Knights. They took part in many art/craft activities including making helmets, swords, shields, and badges. We had some visitors join us from Stafford Castle. They gave us a wonderful insight into life during the Medieval times, including showing examples of Costume and Weaponry, that all beavers then got a chance to wear and hold. We even took the opportunity to rein act battles using their swords and shields that were made earlier in the day. With a well planned Medieval Menu everyone was well fed with a delicious selection of food. There was also a Castle making competition in which the teams of knights had to create a castle out of Plastic cups, straws, coloured paper, sticky tape, and glue. They managed to come up with some very interesting designs! At bedtime they all settled down in their sleeping bags in the hall to watch Shrek the Third. As always, a great time was had by all!
