The Annual District Beaver Sports Event was held on Monday 12th July 2010 at the Headquarters of 5th Birtley. Around 70 Beaver Scouts took part from the 5th Birtley, 7th, 9th, 21st, 31st and 40th Gateshead Colonies. It was a closely run event with few points between the teams. The overall winner with 21 points were the 31st Gateshead. Well Done. Thanks to the 5th Birtley for hosting the event and all Leaders and Supporters.

2 of our Beaver Colonies have now been twinned with Groups based in Gateshead, New South Wales, Australia. Well done to 7th Beavers and 21st Beavers, we are also awating a twin for 32nd Gateshead Beavers.
The Australian equivalent of Beavers are called Joeys (brilliant name!) and they meet in "Mobs". This is an excellent way of fostering an international connection which will be useful for all sections as they progress through the awards, as well as showing how truly international Scouting is.
If any other Groups (any section) are interested then please contact Peter and we will arrange a contact.
