I've recently moved and DS has moved Beaver groups, we've gone from one which was very much like a youth club - sort of drop off, go and play - DS loved it - to one which is really focused on badges and activities. We've had the summer plan sent through and each date is linked to at least one badge. In fairness it looks great in terms of the activities camp building, cooking on fires, treasure hunts, a full camp organised, water sports etc but I'm surprised at the difference. DS has been doing Beavers a year and has 4 badges where as most of the Beavers in this group have their whole arm covered already. Its a much bigger group with their own hut and minibus. They had an Easter day of activities in the holidays and I'm a bit worried he is going to feel left behind in this new group, he's already saying the group is very different to his old one and they are all in their teams already. I'm not criticising the group, just surprised by how different it all is when I'd assumed it'd be the same (or at least similar) and wonder if I'm better off trying to find another group instead if DS isn't going to be happy. Which is more the normal for Beavers?
