Session summary

In this session, Squirrels will have an adventure outside and explore the beauty of nature by creating a fantastical creature of their own. Then it’ll be time for the Drey to take part in energetic games and explore bug-gy behaviour by getting down with bugs, some of the UK’s smallest creatures.

Safety message

Use the safety checklist to help you plan and risk assess your activity. There's also more guidance to help you carry out your risk assessment, including examples. Don’t forget to make sure all young people and adults involved in the activity know how to take part safely.
