Uniform
Full & correct uniform must be worn and please make an extra special effort to ensure that uniforms are complete and especially smart.
Beavers need to wear full & correct uniform including black, navy blue or dark grey ‘school’ trousers and plain black footwear.
It is likely to be cold and as we will only be wearing coats if it is raining, it’s important therefore to wear extra layers of clothing under the uniform. Gloves can be worn if they are dark coloured.
Everyone is asked to wear a poppy.
Beavers & anybody unable to attend the church service
Pick up will be at 11:30am-ish from the the Scout Hut.
