224 North London Beaver scouts getting ready for water activities

On Saturday 31st May, our Beavers took part in a fantastic water activity day at ESSA Water Centre in Broxbourne, and it was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!

The sun was shining, the water was warm(ish!), and our young adventurers were full of energy as they tackled a range of exciting activities on the lake.

What Did We Get Up To?

Throughout the day, the Beavers had the chance to try:

  • Katakanu paddling – working together to steer and stay afloat
  • Sit-on-top kayaking – mastering balance and control
  • Mega SUP – a giant stand-up paddleboard perfect for teamwork and a few wobbles!

Let’s just say… a fair few of them ended up soggy, but the smiles made it all worthwhile.

These activities weren’t just fun – they also went towards several badge requirements, including:

  • Teamwork
  • Time on the Water
  • Adventure Challenge

We’ve put together a short video capturing the highlights of the day – from splashes and giggles to paddling and paddling some more!
