Sinterklaas and his Pieten visited the scouting group this Saturday. Puzzle pieces had been scattered around the clubhouse, and the Beavers had to search for all the pieces and put the puzzles back together. Afterwards, Sinterklaas read to them from his big book. He even knew that the Beavers were good at baking apple turnovers. Unfortunately, something had gone wrong with the presents. In the dark, Sinterklaas had stumbled and all the presents had fallen out of his sack. It was too dark to find them again, and he had accidentally filled his sack with pieces of wood instead.

After a good night’s sleep, the Beavers were able to find the presents again the next day. They had to follow a trail of aluminum through the forest to locate them. After this, the Beavers were trained to become Pieten. They had to climb over an obstacle course and throw presents into a chimney. They also had to learn how to sneak quietly across rooftops. They practiced this through a game of Red Light, Green Light.

Once they were properly trained, the Beavers were allowed to open their presents. They turned out to be laser game sets. The Beavers spent the rest of the morning running around and trying to tag each other with the lasers. It was a very successful camp!
