Beaver Scouts - 6 to 8 years
Beaver Scouts are boys and girls between 6 and 8 years of age. They meet together once a week in a Beaver Scout Colony on Mondays.
Beaver Scouting is all about having fun, making friends and learning new skills. Young people start to gain some independence while trying out many different activities and experiencing new adventures. The fun includes going on visits, making things, playing games and exploring the world around them.
Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Beavers follow a Balanced Programme, earning Challenge Awards and
Activity Badges, but the most important parts are joining in and trying their best.
Boys and girls aged 6 or 7 can become a Beaver Scouts and, around the time of their 8th birthday, Beavers 'swim up' to
Cubs to continue on their path through Scouting.
