This week the scouts visited a local working dairy farm. On arrival the were shown around the milking parlour, where some of the braver scouts had a go at milking. They also saw the farm bull.
After this they went around to see 2/3 day old calves. They were able to pet and feed them.
The farm also breeds Clydesdale horses and so the scouts also got to see a Clydesdale foal, a mare and 2 stallions.
Finally the scouts amused themselves playing with 3 collie pups and 3 dogs.
Thanks to the McKay family, especially Martin for showing us around the farm.
Our Beavers have been making the most of the recent spell of good weather for the last few weeks. They have had a fun trip to the beach. Paddling in the water was a great way to cool off after a warm day.
At the next meeting we went a walk to the local park to play rounders followed by some fun in the play park.
Finally, another trip out to identify some wildflowers and trees in Mountsandal Woods. The beavers completed a hike across to the fort, down to the river and back to the bus. They all did very well.
Here’s hoping the good weather returns in time for our group camp.
