Beavers

Beaver Scouts are young people aged 6-8. Our Beaver Colony consists of three Lodges of up to 6 Beavers, led by a Lodge Leader. The meetings are fun based and structured around making friends, playing games, going on visits, helping others and badge work.

They will also have the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of sleepovers. We generally run 1 sleepover per term, though it may be replaced by a camp. It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it's a real adventure for them.

When do we meet?

Term-time Thursdays
18:0019:30

What do we wear?

Beavers are easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise polos and sweatshirts, dark trousers and group necker (which is supplied by the group). Find out more about uniform here.
