Many of the Beavers went on a fabulous hike to Koda in the Czech countryside. They learnt about navigation and even visited a cave that had been used by humans 40,000 years ago. During the hike the weather was very unpredictable, rain showers, sunshine, hot and cold, which meant everyone changing clothes regularly.
The hike was about 10km and had plenty of variable terrain and even some challenging mud.
Thanks to the Scout Leader team for turning out to support this event.
