Beaver Scouts

The other night, I was chatting to Brian and Belle in the middle of town* when a lady wandered by, looking lost. She was looking for the new Beaver Scout group in town, and she was obviously some sort of official figure, as she had a scout scarf under her coat.
All she knew was that she'd been told that there was some parking by a church, and the leader was called Ellie - so we sent her off in the direction of the Catholic Church, which has a few spaces outside. I think we sent her in the wrong direction, though. According to the B&R today, the Beaver Scouts meet at the Masonic Hall on Brecon Road. At the moment, all the Hay Beavers are girls, and they're looking for some boy members.
Apparently, Beaver Scouts are from 6 to 8 years old (didn't they used to be called Cubs?)

*he'd just been to Pilleth, the site of a great Welsh victory, and the other great longbow battle (the obvious one being Agincourt).
