SQUIRRELS

WHAT IS A SQUIRREL?

Squirrel Scouts are the first and latest Section in the Scout Family and are young people usually aged between four and six years old. Our drey is very new, only starting in February 2022.

At Squirrels everyone is a friend, children from all communities, all backgrounds, and genders. We aim to play games, tell stories, get active, and explore the outdoors.

Yes we will fall down, but we will pick ourselves back up again and bounce back stronger. Squirrels will laugh, and learn new skills almost without realising – it’s the start of their journey for #skillsforlife.

The never ending adventure starts here! They meet once a week in what is called a Squirrel Drey.

WHAT DO SQUIRREL SCOUTS WEAR?

Squirrel Scouts have a uniform which consists of a Red Sweatshirt with activity trousers.

Squirrel Scouts also wear a Group scarf and woggle.

WHAT DO SQUIRREL SCOUTS DO?

Squirrel Scouts are in their early years and are just amazing, their minds are fizzing, their energy and curiosity is sky high. This is the time to fill the little ones’ lives with wow and wonder, to set them climbing up the Scouting tree – who knows how far they will reach?

They will work towards their Chief Scout's Acorn Award.

Squirrels move on to Beavers when they are six years old.

WANT TO BECOME A SQUIRREL SCOUT?

You need to be at least four years old to become a Squirrel Scout and at times the Drey may be full so you may have to go on a waiting list.

Check this out well before your fourth birthday and have your name put on the list; get your Mum/Dad/Carer or Guardian to contact the leaders here at our Join us page.
