About Beavers
Beaver Scouts are boys and girls aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the second section in the Scouting family.
Beavers take part in a wide variety of activities to encourage exploration of the local area, the world around us and themselves.
Fun and Friends
Fun and Friends and they certainly experience this in our Group! With activities ranging from treasure hunts, to making model aeroplanes, to blindfold food tasting, there really is something for everyone. Our Colonies cover a wide selection of schools, so your child will meet new people and make firm friends.
Nights Away
Beaver Scout Colonies also have sleepovers. These are often the first time a young person spends a night away from home. They can be in halls, in tents or at a Scout Activity Centre. There are lots of possibilities and they often have themes to keep them fun and exciting.
Earning Badges
Beaver Scouts have lots of different badges to cover topics such as caring for animals, exploring new places, science experiments and many more! There are also Challenge Awards which are designed to get the Beavers to try new and often different activities. When Beaver Scouts have completed all six Challenge Awards they are awarded the Chief Scouts Bronze Award, the highest award a Beaver Scout can earn.
Tuesdays 6.00pm - 7.15pm
Church Hall, St Pauls Primary School, Clapgate Lane
