What
is Beaver Scouting?
Beaver Scouts are young people
usually aged between six and eight years old. They
belong to the first and youngest Section in the
Scouting family. Young people can join Beaver Scouts
in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday.
They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between
eight and eight years six months.
Easily recognised by their distinctive
turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making
friends, playing games, going on visits and helping
others. They usually meet together once a week in
a Beaver Scout Colony.
Some Beaver Scout Colonies also
organise Sleepovers. These are often the first time
a young person spends a night away from home. They
take place in suitable buildings, often Scout centres.
