Due to our greatly anticipated “World Traveller” Camp this Friday & Saturday, there will be no weekly Beavers meeting on Thursday 28th February.
Get packing Beavers! And we will see you at Camp bright and early on Friday morning at RGS!
Alarms will be ringing early tomorrow morning and all our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers will be getting ready for their return to school!
This week will also see the return of our meetings. So we hope you are all refreshed and ready to resume the Scouting adventure!
We have lots of fun activities, badges and most importantly CAMP scheduled for this half term! Newly invested members of the 1st Doha Scouting Group will really get to see just how much fun it is to be part of British Scouting Overseas, and the positive differences we make to our local communities.
We can’t wait to see you!
After the festive holiday, it’s time to continue our Scouting adventure!
This week sees the start, once more, of our weekly meetings. We hope you are refreshed & ready to go!

Keep calm & Cub Scout on!
We have been busy raising lots of money for the 2nd Chance Animal Shelter and were looking forward to working hard at the shelter to improve conditions for the cats and dogs who are waiting to be re-homed.
Bad weather predictions meant a change of venue; but this did not dampen spirits, as we set up camp for the night at Compass International School in Madinat Khalifa.
Games, quizzes, learning camping skills, (such as cooking dinner from scratch on our stoves and tying knots) made the day fly by.
As we settled down around the campfire to sing songs and tell stories, hot chocolate made by the pot load was a welcomed treat!
We look forward to re-scheduling our camp at 2nd Chance Animal Shelter in the New Year; until then we will continue to do our part in the community and raise even more money for this great cause.
“Beaver Camp was the best day of my life!”
For many of our Beavers, this was their first night away from home; but with sleeping bags packed, goodbyes said to Mum & Dad, they excitedly explored the camp grounds at RGS Doha.
First things first; time to swap our usual Beaver uniform for the Camp Knots t-shirt & necker!
“Camp Knots”….. what else but time to learn how to tie knots; first our neckers and then our knot boards.
We played games, built forts, enjoyed healthy snacks, (and treats!) made secret messages, toasted marshmallows and sang around the campfire.
Friendships and memories made, the colony settled down in their sleeping bags for the night.
As morning came, Camp Knots came alive with the excited chatter of the 1st Doha Beavers; time to pack away our kit!
One last play and Colony get together before we bid farewell to Camp Knots, already looking forward to the next one!
