Beavers

Beaver Scouts meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.

Our Beavers section is for young people aged 6 to 8 who enjoy:

  • Mastering new skills and trying new things
  • Having fun and going on adventures
  • Making new friends
  • Following their curiosity in the world around them
  • Helping others and making a difference

Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!

Beaver leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
