The 1st Helsby Beaver Scouts have celebrated their 20th anniversary.

The 1st Helsby Beaver colony was founded in February 1996.

This year is also the 30th anniversary of Beaver Scouting nationally.

A competition to design a special birthday badge was won by seven-year-old Beaver Scout Blake Williams and kicked off a year of special activities with a birthday party at their headquarters. They will continue celebrating throughout the year.
