At Beavers our young people try new things. Make new friends. Joining Beavers is just the beginning of their big adventure.
Beavers are young people aged 6 to 8 who:
Beaver Scouts meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.
We give them the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers. It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them.
They’ll spend lots of time outside with their Colony. Together, you might build a den, or go on a trip to the seaside, or host a Beaver sleepover beneath the stars. And even though they might not be ready to climb Mount Everest just yet, they’re guaranteed to have plenty of adventures on their own doorstop, because being a Beaver is all about making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Going to Beavers is very different from going to school. Instead of learning from books, they’ll figure the world out by exploring, playing and doing.
The most important skills they’ll learn at Beavers are the ones that will make them feel super strong standing on their own two feet. We call these character skills. They include things like integrity – which means being honest and doing what you think is right – and initiative – which means knowing how to take the lead on something without being asked. It’s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.
