Last Friday evening, ten beavers received their badge for stage one emergencies. The badge was received after training for a number of weeks on first aid.

Each Beaver must learn and understand a total of seven competency skills, these include skills such as treating minor cuts, understanding how to contact the correct emergency services and how to take responsibility for their own health.

The group and section would like to congratulate those that achieved the badge and look forward to the remainder of the group attaining their badges.

The section are now working on their stage one hillwalking badge.
