Beaver Camp – March 2014

Posted on March 9th, 2014 by Steve McCarthy

A group of intrepid Beavers set off on Beaver camp to Hurst this weekend.

Shortly after arriving they headed off to Dinton Pastures and had to plan their route for their Treasure Hunt.

They may not have found treasure, but they certainly found mud.

After a nights camping at the hut, they set off to Wokingham for a quick game of bowling. Strike !

and finally a well earned Sunday lunch.
