Beavers
Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between seven years and six months and eight years six months.
Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others.
Our Beaver Scout Colony organises at least one Sleepover each year. This is often the first time a young person spends a night away from home and it is very exciting! They take place in suitable buildings, often Scout centres.
