Meet the Beavers!

I hadn't said much about Beavers, probably because when I was young they weren't a thing in Scouting, here so today we'll take a brief look them.

Beaver Scouts, often shortened to Beavers, is the second youngest official section of Scouting operated by The Scout Association in the United Kingdom. The core age range for Beaver Scouts is six to eight years. 

Sections of Beaver Scouts are known as Colonies and are run locally by Scout Groups that enables easy moving on to Cubs.

In Beavers together you get with your Colony you might build a den, or go on a trip to the seaside, or host a Beaver sleepover beneath the stars enjoying the great outdoors.

Things you learn include things like integrity – which is about being honest and doing what you think is right – and initiative – which means knowing how to take the lead on something without being asked. It’s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.

You also get to learn about helping others both at your meeting and beyond.

It's an awesome program for boys and girls within that age range.
