3.0 owls were sitting on the fence. 2.0 more owls joined them. How many owls are on the fence now? Answer:

There are five frogs sitting on a log over a stream. Four of the frogs decided to jump into the stream. How many frogs are left sitting on the log?
Answer: Five! Deciding to do something is not necessarily actually doing it.
Moral of the story? Don’t analyse a task to death or procrastinate; just do it!

Right now, Dr. Johnson is three times older than his son.
When Dr. Johnson was 37 years old, his son was 3 years old.
How old are Dr. Johnson and his son now?
Answer: Dr. Johnson is 51 and his son is 17 years old.
Assume that Dr. Johnson is X years old and his son is Y years old.
Then 3Y = X, and X – Y = 34.
Solving for X and Y, we get X = 51 and Y = 17.

My little lambs with my house, that sits alone in a large field, in the background.
I have never been a fan of thunderstorms, but I have never been terrified until this summer. Last week I was awakened by a loud boom. I sat up in bed. What happened next, I will never forget. I am pretty sure that a bolt of lightning struck a metal cage that I have around one of my young trees just outside my house. The cage, which was previously standing up, was on the ground with the wire severely bent. As the lightning struck the thunder was as loud I’ve ever heard and there sounded like an explosion. My house literally shook.
It was awful. My house sits as the lone structure in a big field with a metal roof. I was all alone in my house, like I usually am, and was shaking like crazy. Was the next bolt going to strike my house or my sheep shed? I called my Mom at 3:30 a.m. I must say she was a pretty good sport about the wake-up call.
I was also terrified that my poor little lambs were outside in the storm. I’m often reminded by people that “they are just farm animals,” but to me, they are so much more. They are my little pets and I love them dearly. I wanted so much to go out and check on them but knew that was not a smart idea. I would have loved to bring them inside to protect them.
Last night, again, I was awakened by thunder around midnight. I immediately looked at the radar and a big red blob was headed directly towards Unity. It was bad but not nearly as bad as the week before. I think that I just missed the worst part. I like to turn on the radio to distract me, but that only helped until the power went out.
I continue to sit directly on the fence about a dog. I really want one, but don’t know if I should just stick with the lambs for now. I often work long hours and like to take day trips. However, I’d really like some company on some of these stormy summer nights.
Here’s to hoping that we can make it through a few nights without any thunderstorms.

This was my first purchase from your company. Your site was east to navigate through and place the order. The price was excellent and the delivery was next day. How could you fault that? Answer: You cannot. I would highly recommend Collate. Thank you very much.

If anyone is caring for cats outdoors, on the fence for rescuing them, this arctic weather will help them make up their minds—no living thing without protection can live in this cold. Plenty of rescuers did just that last night and today, and a friend who manages a feral colony at her workplace as well as helping many others trap cats for spay/neuter and veterinary care had her eye on two little kittens, new to her colony, who first showed up when the weather grew cold, and she knew at that age they were at even more risk than a seasoned adult.
In my little feral group I have 3 girls (all fixed) that are “regulars” (always a couple more that come and go). They are Momma (the mom of the kittens I trapped 5-6 years ago), Auntie (Momma’s sister), and Baby (she is one of the kittens from that 1st litter that I couldn’t catch, caught her 1 year later and TNR’d her). Momma and Baby are always together, and Auntie is more of a loner.
Margo’s “shantytown” feeding station and shelter.
When I went out to feed on Friday, only Baby was out there (which is not normal). So I went back out around 10:45 to check on them, and saw a little black kitten in the feeding station eating…it scurried under the garage when it saw me. So I went back out at 11:45, still no Momma, and then I looked under the garage, and saw the Siamese. I kept going back out, all the way up to 6pm and never saw my Momma cat… Then Saturday morning I went out and Momma was back with Baby! Another girl from the group, Kristine, came to my work to try and trap the kittens (I had to work Saturday morning). She set up traps and waited from 8:30-12:30….no luck. But we did notice that the kittens were “late risers” and didn’t even come out from under the garage until about 10:30/11.
So, Sunday morning I came back to the shop at about 11am, when I pulled up I saw the 2 kittens outside playing! I knew this was a good sign.
11:52 a.m.: They are so freaking cute….sitting on a flake of straw enjoying the sun!
When they saw me they darted under the garage. I set the traps and started with just regular canned food…..of course Baby came out and was ready to eat…so I had to keep her away from the traps. I sat in my car and waited and waited….I checked on the area a couple of times, at one point the two of them were enjoying the sun on a flake of straw that was partially under the garage… I was really getting worried that I wasn’t going to get them.
11:55 a.m.: I’m running up to giant eagle for sardines….
I headed to the store for the fried chicken and sardines…re-baited the traps, and waited…..and waited….
12:40 p.m.: They are back under the garage…..I just dumped sardine juice and fried chicken pieces all over the traps….I will be worried sick if I don’t get them tonight.
I even called my mom and asked her to bring me 2 more pieces of fried chicken and sardines packed in oil.
While I was waiting for her to come, I thought I saw some motion at the trap that was a little out of sight… I hopped out of the car and went around the building, the little black one was in there!
1:05 p.m.: Just got the black one!!!
Grabbed a sheet, covered him, and moved him to the car!
1:08 p.m.: My heart is racing and I swear I have dry mouth!!
1:08 p.m.: OMG Siamese is at trap…..
I was DYING!!!! I swear, my heart was RACING….
She checked it out, and slowly made her way in, stopping to sample the fried chicken and the sardine pieces….
I was so scared that she would turn around and scurry out….and then…SHE WAS IN! So I hopped out, covered the trap and got her in the truck too!
Thankfully my friend Carol was able to foster them, so they are now set up at her house, getting ready to be socialized!!!!!!
The first time I trapped cats was about 6 years ago when a cat at work that had kittens. That’s when I started to learn about “ferals” and about how many kittens a cat could have and the importance of spaying/neutering and what TNR was.
On Monday Margo also decided to bring in Auntie and set her up in the “spare” bathroom at work. Margo called for her, she came right up, so Margo scooped her up and “popped her into the crate”, then took her to temporary room.
Thanks to everyone who chased down and caught those cats living outdoors before this weather and for doing the best you could to catch the ones who wouldn’t come in. And for making shelters and getting them in place in time, for finding heated water bowls and non-electric heating pads for food and water and shelters, and for going out in the cold a few times each day to provide food and water and make sure those cats were okay. And for caring for them in all weather, but especially for showing them extra kindness when the temperatures drop below zero!
Finn is ready to go home.
Finn wants his own iPad for Christmas.
Finn wants to have his own iPad for Christmas, all wrapped up under his own tree in his own forever home.
Look at Finn now! You’ve met him before, and in fact several of you donated for his care. Look at what that did for this friendly and affectionate orange cat!
“Will you play with me?” Finn asks.
Yes, you can still donate to help homeless cats and their caretakers and get a gift certificate!
From the rescues taken in to find another home to the cats who end up living outdoors because there is no home for them dedicated individuals volunteer their time, expertise and money to feed and provide shelter for all these cats, in all seasons, every day of the year. Last month we were preparing for the often deadly winter months, and now they are here. Sturdy straw-filled shelters are needed to be built and maintained for cats living outdoors, and often critical emergency veterinary care is needed for kittens born in the cold, and cats suffering injuries caused by or made worse by wintery weather along with the usual street injuries and, unfortunately, abuse.
Margo with a few of the 25 shelters she helped build last month.
Many of the shelters made so far have gone to an emergency situation north of Pittsburgh where about 100 cats are living in a trailer park being fed by residents. The residents had no idea they could find low-cost help but now they will be trapping the cats for spay and neuter in the upcoming HCMT clinics. The volunteers are also providing food and will be working with these people on an ongoing basis until the colony is under control. They are glad for the help!
We may call this Trap-Neuter-Return or TNR or simply rescue. It’s far more than just grabbing homeless cats and spaying or neutering them, returning them to their outdoor home, and as long as people continue abandoning cats the need for all this work will continue as well. Often there’s a network of assistance behind what rescuers do to help them with this rescue and care for outdoor cats, offering food and materials if they can’t afford it on their own and low-cost veterinary care for a cat they’ve rescued or a foster or outdoor cat they are caring for.
The Homeless Cat Management Team (HCMT) and Frankie’s Friends provide that network of care to rescuers in the Pittsburgh area, loaning out traps, networking rescuers, providing low-cost or free spay/neuter clinics at least monthly and making low-cost emergency veterinary care available to rescuers as well as distributing food and even shelters to those who are caring for rescues in their homes or community cats living outdoors.
There are two ways you can help this effort by making even a small tax-deductible donation to Frankie’s Friends for HCMT and their network of rescuers and caretakers through a donated gift card or with cash, and I’ll give you a $10 gift certificate to my Etsy shop for you to use for your holiday shopping, to give as a gift, or keep for later, good for $10.00 off your order of $25.00 or more. And don’t forget that both cash and gift cards are fully tax-deductible as charitable contributions unless you are receiving a gift from the organization you are donating to—but you’re not receiving a gift from Frankie’s Friends, that comes from me, and I’m doing this of my own free will and get no benefit from Homeless Cat Management Team or Frankie’s Friends for it.
Help HCMT and Frankie’s Friends continue to provide much-needed food and supplies to rescuers and caretakers by donating a gift card for pet supplies and they can purchase food and supplies tailored for the animals they are caring for. Petco, PetSmart and WalMart are each convenient to the HCMT clinic in Tarentum where the TNR clinics are held and the veterinary care happens, and where the materials are collected and distributed, so gift cards from these three would be most appreciated.
1. Go to the Petco, PetSmart or WalMart website and purchase an electronic gift card for at least $10.00.
2. Designate it as a gift to “Frankie’s Friends”.
3. In their “notes” section (most have one for gifts), note that this is through”The Creative Cat” so Frankie’s Friends knows where it came from.
5. Email your confirmation to me, or simply email me that you donated a gift card through the Holiday Cheer program. Please let me know if you’d like to be acknowledged publicly at the end of the campaign with just your name, no donation amount. Your name will not be used without your permission to publish it.
6. Frankie’s Friends will email me to confirm your donation.
7. I will reply to your email with your numbered gift certificate attached.
If you’re not comfortable purchasing it on the internet, you can purchase it in person and mail it to them using the address above. Simply include a note that it’s part of “The Creative Cat Holiday Cheer for Homeless Cats”, or just “The Creative Cat”, and make sure you include your email address. They will contact me when they receive it and I will send your gift certificate.
A cash donation will help support the low-cost veterinary care that has saved many lives and, most importantly, prevented the births of many kittens. And Frankie’s Friends also treats dogs in many of their low-cost clinics in Tarentum and in the mobile van, so you are helping prevent puppies as well, and also helping rescued dogs with low-cost veterinary care.
1. Go to the Frankie’s Friends website and make a donation of at least $10.00.
2. The donation is made through PayPal which has a “notes” section. Note that this is through “The Creative Cat”.
3. Email your confirmation to me, or simply email me that you donated cash through the Holiday Cheer program. Please let me know if you’d like to be acknowledged publicly at the end of the campaign with just your name, no donation amount. Your name will not be used without your permission to publish it.
4. Frankie’s Friends will email me to confirm your donation.
5. I will reply to your email with your numbered gift certificate attached.
Your gift certificate will have a code that will be active for use in my Etsy shop until December 31, 2013. This code is entered at checkout for your $10.00 discount. But if you are shopping elsewhere on one of my pages or you’d like to use the discount toward a commissioned portrait or in person, you’ll just need to give me your name and the certificate number and I’ll either manually discount your order or refund $10.00 to you.
Feel free to use your certificate for your holiday shopping, for your post-holiday shopping, or to give as a gift. For my own accounting purposes, I’d like to keep all the transactions within this calendar year.
I will have a link to this post in the right-hand sidebar of my home page until December 31, 2013 and I will also have a link to it in the footer of at least one post each day.
You can visit my Etsy shop to browse what’s there right now, and keep in mind that I add new products regularly, especially one-of-a-kind handmade items. Also visit my page here on The Creative Cat that explains about “Ordering Custom Artwork” where you can have a custom print made of a sketch, painting or photograph you like.
Below are two of the cats you’ll be supporting. Both are unowned, one rescued, the other in a managed colony. Despite the fact they don’t live in a regular home with a human to take care of their needs, they will receive the care they need.
All photos in this post were provided by the rescuers and are not available for use without permission.
I have done TNR – including my momma cat/feral from last summer. I tell people that there is something seriously satisfying about seeing a cat in the trap. I am sure it has to do with the frustration of not catching anything or catching a cat/wildlife you aren’t after, but I do the dance everytime I get a cat. 🙂 Good job and glad those kitties are safe!
Random Felines, there certainly is! I haven’t had to trap any for several years here, but I remember holding my breath and watching traps. Thanks to you and everyone who rescues!

For Carroll County Public Schools, 2017 was filled with numerous high-profile incidents, many leaving the school system in the spotlight, sometimes statewide and nationally.
Perhaps the biggest incident came from the arrest, suspension and then firing of former West Middle School teacher Kenneth Fischer. Fischer, 39, of the 800 block of Amherst Lane in Westminster, is facing charges in Virginia on four counts of solicitation of a minor in connection with an online chat investigation that was begun on Aug. 31 by the Fairfax County Police Major Crime Bureau, Child Exploitation Unit.
He was arrested Sept. 13 and suspended without pay. And on Sept. 25, the school board voted to terminate the former Carroll County Public Schools Teacher.
The school board also announced its retention of an independent investigator, who in November, came back with preliminary findings, according to an email obtained by the Times through a Public Information Act request. The school board hired Judy Bresler, from Carney, Kelehan, Bresler, Bennett & Scherr, to complete the investigation at the price of $294 an hour.
Over the course of a little more than two weeks, CCPS went from announcing a temporary halt of field trips to Baltimore City, to announcing a lifting of the ban, and new guidelines, beginning in 2018.
The temporary ban was put in place by Superintendent Stephen Guthrie on Nov. 22, after a recommendation came from Carroll County Sheriff Jim DeWees. DeWees’ recommendation was in response to an email from a CCPS parent concerned about violence and crime in the city. The original decision left parents and community members split.
CCPS spokeswoman Carey Gaddis told the Times that in the two weeks between the announcement of the new policy and lifting of it, at least two field trips into Baltimore City went on as planned while several others were canceled. One field trip cancellation that garnered a lot of attention was that of the Francis Scott Key High School marching band.
Francis Scott Key High School’s band did not participate as planned in the Baltimore Mayor’s Annual Christmas Parade, which took place in Hampden on Sunday, Dec. 3. Carroll County has sent other school bands in past years, but this would have been Francis Scott Key’s first appearance in the parade.
With the announcement of the lifted ban came a list of altered guidelines, including notifying the Baltimore Police Department of all field trips into the city through a field trip notification form, establishing methods of communication between all staff, chaperones and bus drivers prior to the field trip, and a banning of unsupervised student time during a field trip.
A Winters Mill High School student was disciplined after a classroom incident — which was captured on a video and went viral on social media — during which the student kicked the chair out from under another student who was not standing during the Pledge of Allegiance.
A Winters Mill High School student has been disciplined following a classroom incident — which was captured on a video that has since gone viral on social media — during which the student kicked the chair out from under another student who was not standing during the Pledge of Allegiance.
And though the student was disciplined, CCPS would not comment specifically on his punishment, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
In February, teachers at Westminster High were told by administration to take down posters featuring the “We the People” images, an incident that put CCPS in the national spotlight, gaining traction with outlets such as the Huffington Post and The Washington Post.
School system leaders deemed the posters as taking a political stance, something that officials said is against school policy for teachers.
After the posters were taken down, students took to online crowdsourcing to raise more than $5,000 for shirts worn bearing the banned image, and two days later, students, alumni and community members came out for the Rally for Diversity in support of the students' demonstration.
After testing the water at all schools in Carroll County, the CCPS Facilities Management Department removed and replaced fixtures after results came back showing elevated levels of lead and copper in the majority of buildings.
Sixteen schools with any fixtures that produced elevated levels had them removed and replaced as of Friday, Jan. 6.
Test results released in early January showed seven schools had failing bubblers or water fountains, 26 schools had failing fixtures in school kitchens and seven schools passed all water tests. The tests, which were done by Baltimore County-based Enviro-Chem Laboratories Inc., pulled morning water samples in November or December of 2016, and looked at levels of copper and levels of lead.
At the time, school officials said they believed the issues stem from the particular items and pipes in the buildings, rather than the water source.

We see infants, children and adolescents (birth to 18 years) with neurologic disorders or symptoms concerning for possible neurologic disorders. We provide consultations, evaluation and management and second opinions. We accept self-referrals and physician referrals for both visits with Dr. Siegler and/or EEGs or NEBAs. Our EEG lab is a unique 'log cabin' environment that relaxes your child for evaluation for seizures, or seizure-like spells like staring spells. Our NEBA lab helps confirm ADHD in children who are not responding to treatment or parents are hesitant to treat without diagnostic confirmation.

5.0 out of 5 Monica always tries to find ways to help in any pain problems I have wherever they may be. She is so good in every way, we appreciate her & Dr Martucci so much. He is so good too--to try to help my pain in every way. They are so good-- I don't know any way they could improve.
5.0 out of 5 Answers all my questions for one thing.
5.0 out of 5 Seems to really care. He listens to me. He can't improve. He is already as good as it gets.
5.0 out of 5 My Dr never has failed me. Always has been nice & explains all he will be doing. He is top notch! Maybe arrange a few minutes to visit with patient before taking back to the procedure room. Give patients a chance to voice concerns or future treatment options.
5.0 out of 5 Good bedside manner and knowledge of what he's doing is important. I feel Dr Revelis does great in both areas. His assistants are the best.
5.0 out of 5 I want to commend the doctor. However, I would like it to be known that Stevie, Steve and Edna were outstanding. They deserve some acknowledgement of hoe their attitudes made this visit outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 How you feel that they listen to your situation and try to help remedy it. I really have no complaints except with the girls at the front.
5.0 out of 5 I appreciate being treated respectfully. All too often pain management requests are met with a tinge of skeptisism... like a drug addict is asking for the medication.

5.0 out of 5 Brad is always very good and upbeat and helpful. Would recommend him anytime.
5.0 out of 5 Very pleasant and concerned mannerism. Always listens to condition issues and does his best to address the problem and fix.
5.0 out of 5 This is going to sound really simple, but it's really big to the patients in the recovery area still coming out of sedation. The nurses always come around to check on you and ask if they can get you something to drink, crackers, etc. When they bring you coffee, they don't just bring you black coffee and packets of sugar and creamer to fumble around with. They ask you how many sugars and/or creamers you would like, and bring it to you already mixed in and ready to drink. Along with my physician and physicians assistant, the nursing staff is equally pleasant and always very helpful!

Our beavers have been busy building their larder for the winter months. The store of gathered twigs and branches is next to their lodge and will be accessible to them from under the ice.
They are primarily bark-eaters, and ingest the bark of young twigs and the new growth of wood. They don't actually eat the wood, only the "cambium", a soft tissue close to the surface in which new wood and bark grow.
Preferred foods and building materials are the poplars and willows that grow around the inner bay and were planted by the Conservation Authority when the lake fill areas of the park were naturalized.
New trees now being planted by the City throughout the park. The project is funded by Humber College as compensation for vegetation loss on the Welcome Centre site. Click here for more info.
The Colonel Sam Smith Park ribbon cutting and community tree planting ceremony at the new Wetland Lookout (funded by a grant from the W. Garfield Weston Foundation) on Saturday, October 24. 10:00 AM-12:00 PM was a great success. Over 40 volunteers/supporters of all ages were in attendance.
CSSP supporters should report all instances of graffiti/vandalism/illegal dumping of waste/off leash dog infractions at the Lookout and elsewhere in the park to 311. The city's response is "complaint driven".
Representatives from the FOSS Steering Committee attended a Special Public Meeting on October 8 at Toronto City Hall and are pleased to report that CSS Park has officially been designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA). FOSS continues to lobby for ESA inclusion of two additional environmentally significant adjacent parcels of land.
Dog Park Improvements: FOSS recently learned that its lobbying efforts for improvements to the dog park have been thwarted. The Water Treatment Plant administration controls the land in that area and will not allow the planting of additional trees.
PHOTO EXHIBITION: FOSS is in the planning stages for a proposed photo exhibition tentatively scheduled for September 2016 and to be held in the Assembly Hall. Subject matter will be wildlife and other interesting natural elements found within the boundaries of CSSP. Keep checking our web site for additional details.
BIRD FEEDER PROJECT: FOSS will erect and maintain bird feeders in the area behind the Power House during the December-March skating season. Volunteers are required to fill the feeders. Initial funding for this project was provided by a grant from the Weston Foundation. Contact FOSS (see web site) if you wish to participate.
New FOSS web site on line: www.friendsofsamsmithpark.ca - Links directly to the blog spot.
FOSS's ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING is tentatively planned for March 2016. New volunteers are very welcome.

On a sad note, the EBF beavers have disappeared. They disappeared shortly before freeze up last fall, so we are not sure what happened to them.
With the beavers gone, we cleared part of one lodge off the wheelchair path so that the path will again be accessible, while still allowing visitors the opportunity to see these creatures' amazing handiwork.
If you’re curious about how beavers build their lodges, check out this video on YouTube.
Check out our Video Gallery for recordings of the beavers captured on Ustream.

Here is the home of the beavers from the previous post.
I’m just amazed at the lumberjack skills of these creatures. I’d like to get a shot of one in the daytime, but they are quite shy. I think someone is coming to this site and cutting up the larger logs felled by the beavers and using it for firewood. Beavers seem to just use the smaller limbs for their homes.
OK,I admit it. I’m fascinated by the work of beavers.
He was very busy last night.

The beavers living in Glencoe Swale are very industrious. Last October, willow limbs were gathered and cleverly placed in a large storm pipe (second photo, lower left) that prevents flooding during our rainy season. As the jam increased, so did the waters behind the beaver engineering project.
Once waters hit a critical level, Public Works faced the task of removing the debris. When mechanical means failed, a professional dive team was brought in to remove the submerged branches from the pipe.
The juxtaposed photos above show the day before the dive team and the day after. There was a dramatic drop in water level as evidenced by the water line on the tree snags.
I rather liked the lake that formed behind the beaver dam; but I know having my house flood was not an option.
However- the beavers are back at work again…chewing with a vengeance!

The Miracle Factory beavers away.
Attended by quizzing and laying-on of hands.
In full expectation that they’ll all pull through.
And this is a thing that we’ll all have to face.
In awe of the Factory that beavers away.

Five busy beavers building up a dam, closing up the river where the salmon swam. Gnawing down trees and ferrying the logs. Slapping on the mud that they gathered from the bog. Along came a muskrat who wanted to play, and one little beaver swam away. Five little beavers are hard at work on their dam until, one by one, their forest friends pull them away to play. After visits from a muskrat, a heron, a frog, and a turtle, there's just one hardworking beaver left at the end of the day. But when the fifth tired beaver leaves her sticks and mud behind and heads back to the lodge, a big surprise awaits! With catchy, playful rhyme, irresistibly cute illustrations, and a supplementary page of facts about all the species featured, Five Busy Beavers makes counting and learning fun!

A group of 25 beavers (aged 6-8yrs old) along with their team leaders from the 21st Inverness (lochardil) Scout Group visited the mosque on Wednesday 08 Feb 2017. Many of the beavers were accompanied by their parents who had never visited a mosque before and was a first time experience for them also.
Imam Ibrahim gave the visitors a tour of the mosque, a basic power point presentation about Muslims & finished with a Q&A session. There were also light refreshments provided as-well as food.

The beavers had an end of term picnic in the scout grounds on Wednesday. It was a perfect still evening and the grounds were in fantastic condition.
Goodbye to Daisy, Imogen and Courtney, who are leaving us for cubs. For everyone else, see you all again next term!

Separate new beavers and go for a "quiet to talk".
Talk through the questions and show where the answers can be found in the book.
Get Beavers to put their names on the book and their little book.
Take the opportunity to explain what will happen when they are invested.
How to make the Scout sign, handshake.
Explain to parents the answers are in the book and they may need to help their Child.
This way parents will hopefully know how to find out about badge requirements and where they go.

Tonight beavers did some show and tell of items they have collected for their collectors badge. As it was a lovely evening we moved the meeting outdoors. There were a wide variety of items on show.
The beavers all did very well talking about their collections and answering questions from their peers. Well done everyone!!

After the last beaver finally went to sleep at about 02:00 the leaders got to bed at 02:30 only to be woken by the first beavers awake at 05:30!
Here are the beavers washing up after a breakfast of porridge and eggy bread. Mmmmm.
We then spent the morning taking part in various activities and crafts all related to growing things and gardens.
The beavers then planted up some unwanted wellies to make the entrance to the HQ fun.
Finally we had lunch and went home.

Five beavers and cubs took part in the Cardiff & Vale of Glamorgan scout swimming gala in February. they all took part in this big event for the first time, overcame their nerves and swam brilliantly. Four of the team are through to the finals in March!

Can I have smores please?
The beavers enjoyed an introduction to campfire cooking on Wednesday. Alongside the do’s and don’ts, they managed to cook sausages, toast marshmallows, make themselves smores and have an impromptu sing-song.

This week 50 beavers, cubs, scouts and their volunteer leaders visited South Tyneside's Magic Festival. At the Customs House theatre, we were wowed by Magic Mick and Houdini the rabbit and Martin Duffy among other local magicians. Mr. Twister, the balloon magician amazed Cubs with special inflatable creations before finishing his act by climbing inside an enormous balloon.
After a sweet treat during the interval, young people were amazed by Graeme Shaw, the illusionist whose dancing girls vanished into the magicians box. Scouts continued to argue about how the trick was done well into the journey home.
A great night at the theatre truly adding creativity and performance to our balanced programme!
Beavers, Cubs and Scouts often share their adventures together at 3rd Washington Scouts. Through events such as this, young people can take part in a varied and creative programme, supported by each other, young leaders and volunteer adults.

5 beavers from 10th Romsey Maple Colony recently spent an afternoon at Nightingale Lodge where they helped 4 of the residents to make Easter cards.
They all enjoyed themselves chatting to the ladies and telling them about their beaver badges and also talking about their families.
The boys were given squash and biscuits before we left and our visit was much appreciated.
