Indian Headdress
The Beaver Scouts made these from a strip of card with a coloured feather. In stead of taping the card to the correct head size it was cut – like this – saves tape!!
Try out bow and arrows
Don’t panic – not real ones – they were made from string and garden canes. The Beaver Scouts had to try to burst water filled balloons – they loved it!
Make a Tee-Pee
Made from paper and decorated with Indian symbols. A good one to do in the colony. Cut a semi circle of paper. Let the Beaver Scouts decorate and then tape into a one shape. Add a piece of feathered paper to the top.
Look for Cree Indian signs
Pan for Gold
Bit wet – but fun. The Beaver Scouts each had a Frisbee and had to scoop it into the water then drain off the water and see if they had found gold. The leaders said there was some in there but we did not find any!! Perhaps a bit wet for a colony evening – you could try it outdoor with lots of towels!
Face painting
Simple but fun – just watch out for allergies
