Being a Beaver
When you join Beavers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.
Learn the Lingo
Beavers Scouts – Beavers are young people usually aged between 6 and 8 years old. Young people can join in the 3 months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next section, Cub Scouts, between 7½ years old and 8½ years old.
Colony – Beavers meet together in their section which is known as a Beaver Scout ‘Colony’.
Lodges – Beavers may be split into smaller groups called ‘Lodges’ to carry out activities and tasks together.
Nights Away – Our Colony aims to organise at least one residential event per year, known as a ‘Night Away’ from home.
Beaver leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
Activities and what you’ll get up to
Get an introduction to outdoor activities, have the opportunity to be creative, explore your local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout sleepover with your friends.
Awards
Completing awards challenges you to do more, learn more and be more. See what’s on offer and start your journey to the top.
Beaver Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ – an oath that helps us to be our best
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Moving up to Cubs
Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Beavers and embrace your next big adventure.
