March 2012 saw the “best sleepover yet” (or of the last couple of years, anyway), as 15 of the 255th Beavers descended on Brean, Somerset, of which 11 stayed for the full two days, sleeping indoors in tents. Activities included beach games, a hike, a sandcastle competition, a puppet show, an indoor campfire and lots of indoor crafts. The Beavers enjoyed themselves so much that some didn’t even want to leave!
