THE 3rd Bude Rowan Scout Group beavers have been spending the last three weeks working towards their pet badge.

They have been talking about all the different animals that can be kept as pets, what they need to know before getting a pet, what their pet will need and how to look after them.

During these weeks the Beaver Leader Ceri Copplestone and her son Liam have been bringing in their stick insects to show the beavers.
