Beavers

Beaver Scout Promise

I promise to do my best
To be kind and helpful
And to love God.

Age

Beavers are boys and girls usually aged between six and eight years old and are our second youngest of all the Scouts Sections.

Structure

A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony, and each Colony can be split up into smaller groups called Lodges.

Beavers have a Promise and Motto, but there is not a Beaver Scout Law. The concepts of the Scout Law should be presented to Beavers through games, storytelling, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.

Beavers will also have 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.

Uniform & Badge Placement

Meetings

Beavers will usually meet on Fridays during school term time from 6.30pm – 7.30pm.
