Meetings held: Every Saturday (term time), 09:30 – 10.30

Age Range: 6 to 8 Years

Beaver Scouts are the youngest members of the Scouting family, between the ages of 6 to 8 years old boys and girls can join a Beaver Scout Colony. In scouting the children are called young persons, and providing there is availability a young person can join in at the start of the term when they are 6.

For Beavers activities are based around a balanced programme including making things, outdoor activities, singing, playing games, investigating nature, listening to stories, learning how to be safe and most importantly, making new friends. There are a number of badges associated with these activities which are handed out when completed.

Previously during the course of the year, our Beaver Colony have also been on a number of outings and there are regular activities arranged by our District. These include:

  • A trip to watch the annual Lords Mayor’s Show,

  • Taking part in the Annual District Swimming Gala,

  • Taking part in the District Cross Country run

  • Trips to museums including the RAF London Museum,

  • Attending the District Beaver Party,

  • Participated at the Beaver Bonanza,

  • March as a colony/Group in the St George's Day Parade,

  • March as a colony/Group in the Remembrance Sunday Parade,

  • Taken part in our Group Family camp (for Beavers this is a one night camp)

  • As a Group we are very fortunate to be based within Montpelier Park, weather permitting we use the park for games and investigations as part of badges.

Children join a Beaver Scout Colony for many reasons. It might be they have heard great things from their friends about all the things our Colony gets up to every week.

We offer a balanced and safe programme in line with the Scout Association guidelines, and we aim to complete at least 2 badges each term.

Our Beaver Colony meets every Saturday, during term time, from 09:30 to 10:30 am.
