What are Beaver Scouts?
What are Beaver Scouts?
Beavers are second section, and generally meet for just over an hour per week. They enjoy all that Scouting has to offer; being introduced to outdoor activities, having the opportunity to be creative, explore their local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout sleepover with their friends.
The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of the Scout Group. Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old. There is flexibility in the age range: young people can join from age 5¾, and can move to Cubs between age 7½ and 8½. It may sometimes be appropriate to extend this flexibility for young people with additional needs.
Like all our sections, Beavers is open to Girls and Boys

What Activities do Beaver Scouts do?
What Activities do Beaver Scouts do?
During their time in the Colony, Beaver Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on sleepovers. Participation, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Beaver Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
There are numerous badges and awards they can work towards and earn during their time in Beavers, and hopefully move up to Cub Scouts having achieved their Bronze Chief Scouts Award.
