 Beavers start at 6 years of age and transfer to cubs at 8 years of age. There are both boys and girls in our colony.
Beavers go on one night sleepovers which are held indoors, they can only camp if parents/guardians sleep with them.
Beavers do a wide range of activities and badges. The highest award a Beaver can get is the Chief Scout Bronze Award and for this they have to complete 6 Challenge badges. Beaver Scouting encourages younger children to mix, work as team members, develop new skills, make new friends, try new activities and to develop their own personality. |
