Beavers

Home/Join Us/Beavers

Easily recognised by their bright turquoise jumpers, they give it a go trying new skills, having fun and making friends

Asking the big questions starts right here.

Young people can join Beavers coming up to their sixth birthday, they can move up to Cub Scouts around their eighth birthday.

Many Beavers move up from Squirrels, but you don’t need to have been a Squirrel to enjoy Beavers.

What do Beavers in the 3rd get up to?

No two weeks are the same. Making and building, visiting new places and meeting new people, playing games or getting into the great outdoors.

During their time in Beavers, our young people help give something back to their community, spend time with other scouts and spend some time sleeping away from home for the first time.

Putting the pieces together.

As well as making and living by their promise, Beavers often work towards badges and awards. Sometimes these are activity badges focusing on a particular skill. Or really prove themselves with one of the six challenge awards. Chances are Beavers will complete a number of these before they move on with lots every year collecting them all and achieving the Chief Scout’s Bronze Award, the Top Award for Beavers!

The handy guide can be used to show you where each badge goes.
