Session summary
The adventure continues for Squirrels as they have the chance to build their own den – a Scouts activity they’ll continue to do in different ways as they grow in Scouts! Once each group has worked together to make a blanket fort, they can have fun decorating it and enjoy a safe, cosy space to relax together.
