Okay, so what's Beavers about?
Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others.
Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between eight and eight years six months.
Beaver Scouting is about:
- Having fun
- Making friends
- Keeping the Promise
- Sharing
- Making progress
- Using a variety of groupings
These underpin all that is done in the Colony. Using a variety of activities, Beaver Scouts are guided to:
- Learn about themselves
- Get to know people
- Explore
- Care
- Be creative
