Beavers

A Beaver Scout Colony has members aged typically between 6 and 8 years old. They meet together as a Colony and work in small groups called ‘Lodges’. A team of adults run the Beaver Scout Colony. Beavers take part in a wide range of activities. These include making things, singing, playing games, going on visits, investigating nature, listening to stories etc. They do this through taking part in a programme of activities provided by the leadership team.

Beaver Scouts:

• Learn about themselves – exploring their feelings and developing good habits of health
  and personal safety.
• Get to know people – finding out about people in their family, the family of Scouting, the
  local community and the wider world.
• Explore – discovering the exciting world of science, nature and technology, exploring the
  natural and man-made world.
• Care – growing towards and responding to the needs of others, the local community and
  the wider world

Beaver Scouts work towards challenge awards, which are awarded by taking part in the regular programme. With hard work and regular attendance Beavers can gain their Bronze Award, the highest award a Beaver Scout can achieve.

Beaver Scouts also have the opportunity along the way to collect Activity Badges, which they can work towards both inside and outside the meeting of the Colony, in their own time if they choose.
