A colony of lucky Beavers have all received a Blue Peter badge.
The youngsters, who are members of the Dawntreader 1st Beavers, based in John Ray Street, Braintree, won the prestigious badges after creating a junk model on what they thought the world would look like in the year 3000.
Leader Sam Smith-Jones said: “They each drew a picture of what their model would look like.
“Then they had a session of making it.
“Afterwards, they wrote letters about what they did and I sent them together with photos, to Blue Peter.
“They got a letter back saying how impressed they were and they each got a badge.
“The Beavers are all really, really pleased.”
