Project Description

Beaver Scouts are our Junior Section for those aged 6 to 8.

The programme is based around fun and discovery and for Beavers, the emphasis is on meeting and interacting with people of their own age.
The motto of Beavering is “sharing” and this is reflected in the program where the young person learns to share through co-operation, teamwork and effort. Beaver Scouts work to the same ideals as the other sections and are a fun first step in the world of Scouting.

Overall Beavering is designed on a positive group basis and individual competitions and achievement are not essential parts of the programme. Young people of this age are developing very quickly and in the Colony we build on their skills and take their weaknesses and turn them into strengths.

Some of the activities enjoyed at Beaver meetings include active and quiet games, stories, creative crafts, singing, drama and nature study. About once a month there are special events and activities which include walks, visits and parties. There is also an annual County Beaver Day as well as a County Beaver Christmas Party which are organised by the Programme Coordinators for Beavers in the County.
