Beaver Colony Seen On “The Island”

It’s a long time since the ferry ran from the Sea Wall at Malahide to “The Island”. The Beaver Team was just back from Fort Lucan and took the short crossing over as part of their day programme .

Further activities stretched well into the evening with a night hike and a very late night barbeque of marsh mellows. Sleep has to come and by morning breakfast followed by presentations of certs to all Beaver Scouts who took part. The Beaver colony and its leaders take a well earned rest till September.
