What are Squirrel Scouts?
What are Squirrel Scouts?
Squirrels are our youngest members, and generally meet for just under an hour per week. Squirrels can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way.
The sessions will be a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts, and they’ll help everyone get ready for the adventure of school too.
Sessions will be packed with outdoors activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help our youngest members learn the skills they need for life.
Like all our sections, Squirrels is open to Girls and Boys

What Activities do Squirrel Scouts do?
What Activities do Squirrel Scouts do?
During their time in the Dray, Squirrel Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Squirrel Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
Each badge is packed with wow and wonder, perfect for anyone who’s ever asked ‘Why?’ (or ‘Why not?’). You’ll tell stories and play games. Get active and explore the outdoors. Become a brilliant builder and a super chef. There’s something for everyone.
Hopefully by the time they move up to Beaver Scouts they will have achieved their the top Award which is called the Chief Scouts Acorn Award.

One of the questions we always get asked is where do you buy the uniform from? There is a District Scout Shop based at Prances Campsite that is open Saturdays from 10am to 1pm during term time.
We have mentioned there are numerous badges but what do Squirrels have to do to earn them? Take a look here for all the requirements.
Next question is where do all these badge go?
