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 the newest addition to the Group, 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.

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.
