198 Beavers Scouts, 179 Cub Scouts and 138 Leaders & helpers including the Ormskirk contingent represented by 4th, 30th, 42nd, 53rd & 56th enjoyed a fun filled link day at Waddecar. Each base had a
“Country Theme” & Ormskirk chose France. We put together varied activities including – making lavender
sprays, French jigsaws, and a French facts quiz, knock down the Eiffel Tower game & each visitor to France had the opportunity to sample a ripe French cheese!

It would have been impossible to run this base without the invaluable help and support from Di Coverdale & Ian Biggin, Leaders from 30th Beaver Colony and Fellowship members – Ann & Eric Simms, Noel & Margaret Fern, Peter Hall, Ian & Carol Flavell and Phyllis Makin. I would also like to thank Jean Draper for her endless photocopying and cutting out! The rain held off long enough for the Beavers & Cubs to board the coaches for their journey home and then the heavens
opened as Fellowship members sat down to a well earned tea under a dripping gazebo!
