Beavers

Welcome to the Beaver’s Site – we are currently updating the site so any suggestions are welcome!

Our Colonies

We have 2 Colonies (although Jupiter is currently closed due to lack of Adult volunteers, please contact us if you can help)

• Jupiter Colony meet on Mondays – Currently closed
• Saturn Colony meet On Tuesdays from 18:00-19:00

Boys & girls join Beavers when they are 6 years old and remain in the section until they are 8.

The Beaver motto is ‘Fun and Friends’, this is very much the focus throughout the weekly meetings. Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on local visits and helping others.

About Beavers

Beavers are our youngest members, and generally meet for an hour per week. They enjoy all that Scouting has to offer; being introduced to outdoor activities, having the opportunity to be creative, explore their local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout Sleepover with their friends.

The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of the Scout Group. Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old.  There is core flexibility in the age range:  young people can join from age 5¾, and can move to Cubs between age 7½ and 8½.

Structure

A Beaver Colony may be organised into smaller groups called Lodges. Lodges can be used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Beaver Scout Colony. They may provide a ‘home’ area for Beaver Scouts to gather at points at the start, during or at the end of the Colony meeting.

Activities

During their time in the Colony, Beaver Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on sleepovers. Participation, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Beaver Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Further information about badges and awards for the Beaver section can be found here.

The Beaver Scout Promise

I promise to do my best
To be kind and helpful
And to love God.

The Beaver Scout Law

There is no formal Beaver Scout Law. The concepts expressed in the Scout Law are to be presented to Beaver Scouts through games, storytelling and other informal activities.
