“The kids were delighted to see and sit in the queens chair!

“We ended the evening with nine beavers having their investiture in such a special place. Parents and carers were amazingly supportive and it was a fun and informative evening.”

Melissa added: “The 4th Hastings Beavers are based at Christ Church Ore. Beaver Scouts are our youngest members.

“They usually meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.

“They also have the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers.

“It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them.”
