Who are Beaver Scouts?
Beavers Scouts are children between the ages of six and eight years. They meet together as a colony and for some activities are divided into smaller groups called "Lodges".

What do they do?
Beaver Scouts enjoy an informal and flexible programme providing the children with all kinds of activities to HAVE FUN and MAKE FRIENDS!

The Membership badge
When a new child comes along to join the Colony, he will take part in three or four meetings before taking their Beaver Scout Promise and being presented with his World Membership Badge. Parents/carer's are invited to the ceremony.

The Beaver Scout Promise is I promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and love God..

The Beaver Scout Motto is FUN AND FRIENDS

Dropping off and collecting at Meetings Parents/Carer's are expected to leave and collect their childs from INSIDE the Scout Hall. Children must not be allowed to come into or leave the hall on their own.

Parents/Carer's Help at Meetings
Parents/Carer's are asked to help at Beaver Meetings at least once a term. Please talk to Beaver Leader for more details.

Training
As well as enjoying a fun packed programme, a Beaver may also gain the Chief Scout's Bronze award, which is gained after completing 3 challenge badges. There are also several activity badges. Please ask a leader for more details of these badges.
