Beavers
Introduction to Beavers
'The best thing we did was swim in the rain. I wasn't even sure we were allowed to, but it was brilliant! I mean we were wet anyway, so I guess it didn't matter too much about the weather.'
Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family. Their activities are based around making things, outdoor activities, singing, playing games, going out on visits, investigating nature, listening to stories, learning how to be safe and most importantly, making new friends.
Children join a Beaver Scout Colony for many reasons. It might be they have heard great things from their friends about all the things your Colony gets up to every week. Perhaps parents or carers are keen for them to join. Whatever their reasons, whether or not they stay will be down to you and your team, and the weekly programme you provide.
Colony Information
The Beavers meet on a Tuesday evening for an hour and play games and work towards their badges.
They often have visitors such as the local community Police to give talks. Visits to the fire station and Pets at Home have taken place and all go towards more badges.
The Beaver motto is "Fun and Friends" and they always have lots of fun while making new friends.
