Beaver Scouts are the second youngest section of the Scouting family, open to boys and girls typically aged between six and eight years old. Your child will join a Beaver Colony, which is led by a team of adult volunteers.
The Colony is usually split into smaller groups called Lodges. This is a great way for your child to make new friends and learn to work as a team. A Beaver Scout Leader will place your child into a Lodge, and they will enjoy a wide range of activities and games together.
Throughout their time in the Colony, your child will take part in a variety of fun and adventurous activities. They will work towards earning a range of badges, including both Activity Badges and Challenge Awards, which they can wear on their uniform. A key highlight for many Beavers is the chance to attend a sleepover, which may be their first night away from home! These sleepovers are a fantastic way for them to build independence and create lasting memories in a safe and supervised environment.
The challenge and activity badges they earn, will be proudly displayed on their uniform.
Whilst earning their badges they will learn and take part in:
- Outdoor activities
- The world around them
- Caring for themselves
- Life long skills
This will ultimately lead to the presentation of section’s highest award The Chief Scouts Bronze Award
When they are approaching 8 the section leader will contact the Cub Leader and arrange a transfer and prepare them to move onto the next section of Cub Scouts
The times for our colonies vary according to where they meet
