Beavers

Beavers is the second section within Scouting, after Squirrels, for young people aged between 6 and 8.

When you join Beavers, you'll master new skills, try new things, have fun and go on adventures, make friends and help others to make a difference!

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. Weekly meetings are usually between 1 hour to 1 hour 30 mins, depending on the group

Beavers will also get the opportunity to spend a night away from home either on a camp or on a sleepover – a REAL adventure and for many it will be their first night spent way from home.

Throughout Beavers, young people work towards their challenges badges, and many achieve the Chief Scout's Bronze Award, the highest award a Beaver Scout can achieve!

For most groups in our district, Beavers is the 1st section, apart from 4th Ashby and 10th Scunthorpe who offer Squirrels for 4 to 6 year olds, then progress onto Beavers. If you have a young person who would like to join Beavers, click HERE and fill out your details in the form...
