Forty Squirrels from Aylesbury met for a Scoot around Bearbrook School playground. Squirrels from 1st and 3rd Aylesbury Scout Groups participated in the event which involved going over ramps, scooting along a wiggly line, a limbo obstacle, wash the scooter and a pit stop for refreshments.
At the end of the event, all the children received a medal as a memento of their scooting for an hour.
Ruby, aged six said, “What I like about Squirrels is the fun activities and going on camps. At camp we had a campfire where we sang songs. I toasted a marshmallow and squashed it between two chocolate biscuits. It was yummy.” Leo, aged five said, “I like the games and making new friends. I liked making a bird feeder out of recycled bottles. It’s in my garden and I hope birds will use it.”
Adult volunteer Katie said, “I started volunteering when my daughter joined Squirrels last year. As a volunteer I’ve got to know the children and their parents. It’s been very rewarding planning the programme for the children. Being involved with the planning, organising and running the meetings has boosted my confidence.”
