Beaver Scouts (6-8)

Who are Beavers?

Beavers are young people, both boys and girls, aged 6 to 8 who:

• Master new skills and try new things
• Have fun and go on adventures
• Make friends
• Are curious about the world around them
• Help others and make a difference, on their own doorstops and beyond

What do Beavers do?

Beavers meet weekly and have fun with all their friends in the Colony (the name we use to describe a section of beavers). Beavers is all about fun and friendship! There are lots of different activities to try and badges to gain. There are many fun and exciting things for Beaver Scouts to do including making things; outdoor activities like climbing, hiking and camping; playing games, and leading them; going on visits; investigating nature; listening to stories; learning how to be safe and, most importantly, making new friends!

Why do the leaders have funny names?

Leaders in the section will use names of woodland creatures. This is the same all up and down the country and can be anything for example Thumper, Squirrel and Mr. Crow.
