Green aviation company, ZeroAvia, hosted two colonies of Beaver Scouts at its hangar at Cotswold Airport.

The company based in Kemble is close to releasing a product capable of flying medium-sized aircraft with no carbon emissions this decade.

But it was recently focused on helping two groups of 6 to 8-year-olds pass their Stage 1 Air Activities badge.

To pass their badges, the Beavers needed to:

• Make and fly a paper aeroplane
• Spell their name using the Phonetic Alphabet
• Speak to someone who has flown lots of planes
• Learn about and see an aeroplane up close

The Beavers were able to speak to ZeroAvia's system safety engineer, Rene Shaw - a former pilot, as well as check out the company's Dornier 228 aircraft.
