Being a Beaver
Beavers comes after Squirrels, continuing the journey in Scouts for children aged 6-8. As a Beaver, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When do we meet?
We have just about to launch our new Beaver Colony on Monday 8th June 2026 for a 4-week trial.
We will be starting at 6pm and finishing at 7pm.
What do Beavers do?
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.
Whether it’s exploring the local community or getting outside, fun is at the heart of the Beaver programme.
Earning 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.
Uniform and Badges
After you join Beavers you will wear a uniform that lets you display all of your badges.
Learn about our uniform and where to put your badges below.
Moving on to Cubs
Eventually, it will be time to say goodbye to Beavers and move onwards and upwards to Cubs.
The adventure continues…
Beaver Volunteers
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.
