Description

Teach your Beavers the opening/closing song in Welsh.
This activity would be great for St David's Day, it could go towards the Welsh Beaver Scout Award, the International badge, a Personal challenge, the My World challenge (reqmt 3), or it could simply help colonies in Wales to introduce more Welsh into regular meetings and promote positive bilingualism.

Resources

Attachment can be printed out and shared, or expanded and laminated as a poster for your meeting place.
