Bees and Other Creatures
Jun. 17th, 2022 05:38 pm Last week at Brownies they were completing their Innovate badge, as part of the Express Myself theme. The challenge was to build the tallest tower out of kebab sticks, cardboard and paper. They worked within their sixes and one six emerged as the clear winner, when one of the other towers, clearly over ambitious, toppled over.
This week Flamingo's colleague, who is a beekeeper, came to talk about bees. The Brownies enjoyed it and learnt something, even though they were getting slightly restless by the end. And they earned their Bee Challenge badge. Sadly, only half the pack were present, which was rather annoying - we knew three couldn't make it for various reasons (nothing unusual there, we rarely have a full pack), but heard nothing from the others.
And this evening I'm off to a District pub meal - a chance for a natter with the other local guiders. I may get the chance to discuss how I can be involved going forwards.
