As well as teaching the children to ice a cake and learn the Scout promise in sign language, Kate was due to help the children to cut up a chocolate bar with boxing gloves and put a wet suit on blindfolded

Kate was shown around by Carlos Lopez-Plandolit (centre), the Beaver Scout colony leader, who became a volunteer about a year ago after coming to Britain five years ago from Spain to work for a technology company

Kate attempts simple tasks, such as chopping up a chocolate bar while wearing a pair of boxing gloves.

Kate got stuck in to the activities, laughing as she joined a group of Beavers trying to cut up and eat Mars Bars using boxing gloves to simulate those with mobility or coordination problems

Helping hand: Kate teaches the young girl how to use the chopsticks to pick up sweets during one activity
 

Under instruction: Kate helped guide the hands of Fynley Gooch, 7, as he sat with a neckerchief covering his face and tried to squeeze icing over a fairy cake


Offering support: The Duchess holds the chocolate cake still so the young boy can decorate the treat without making a mess

No peeking! Kate laughs as she lifts the Scout's blindfold to make sure he is not peeking as he tries to ice the chocolate cake
 


Taking part: At the final table, Kate sat with a group of children trying to put icing on some fairy cakes while blindfolded. She used her Scout scarf to cover her face and show the children what they needed to do

Changing places: After finishing Fynley's cake, Kate had a go at being blindfolded and he took his turn to guide her in decorating the cake
Rewarded for their efforts: When she had completed her cake decorating, Kate joined the 20 Beavers sitting in a circle and then, when everyone stood up, went around the circle, presenting each with a disability awareness badge

Pleased with her handiwork: Kate lifts her blindfold, after Fynley helped her to ice the cake and seems impressed with her efforts

Follow my lead: Kate had used her Scout scarf to cover her face and show the children what they needed to do
