On 15th February 2003, both the Stotfold Beaver colony's (Cheyenne and Chickasaw) went on a trip to the National Space Centre at Leicester.

All of the Beavers had a great time with lots of Space activities to take part in and lots of areas to explore. At 12:30 we all watched a space show about the SETI project in the large dome theatre.

For more information on The International Space Centre, take a look at their website at www.spacecentre.co.uk

We travelled by coach.

We were able to learn about space rockets and satellites as we travelled up the side of the 2 space rockets.

Lots of hands on activities were available for the Beavers to learn from.

We tried to lose some of the Beavers in this black hole.

Even at Beaver age, they are carrying the world on their shoulders.

Have a go at weather reporting.

Unfortunately the Beavers were not quite tall enough to see all of themselves in the video. But Daniel our Explorer helper demonstrated how it should be done.

Beavers got a chance to spend some money in the Cargo Bay shop.

Here you can see the large building holding the space rockets.
