Crossroads Otters

Otters is a program for children between ages 5 to 7. The Scouting year runs from Sept.1 to Aug. 31. The Otters are the youngest section with children joining at the age of 5 years of age and moving up to the Timber Wolf Pack at the age of 8. The unit is known as an "Otter Raft" and their motto is "Busy and Bright". The Raft is subdivided into Dens.

Otters learn useful family and community skills, and learn to play safely together.

There is a proficiency badge system of four "paws", a Safety Badge,

Service Badge, a Camping Badge and finally the highest award is the Swimming
