Our Beaver Programme
Our Beaver Programme
There's always something exciting happening at 1st Cheriton Beavers! From crafts and games to outdoor adventures, badge work and special events, our programme is designed to help our Beavers learn new skills, build confidence and have fun together.
Our programme is planned in advance, but occasionally activities or dates may need to change. Please check this page and Online Scout Manager (OSM) regularly for the latest information.
We rely on parent and carer volunteers to help us run our sessions safely. If you're able to help at a meeting or event, please sign up through OSM.
Having enough adult helpers means we can provide the best possible activities for our Beavers. If we don't have sufficient support, we may need to adapt an activity or, in exceptional circumstances, cancel a session.
Thank you for supporting our Colony!
