Being a Beaver
When you join Beavers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.
Mondays – 6.00pm till 7.15pm (School Term Time)
Section Leaders
My name is Gill and I run the Beaver Section and have been here since 1989. Both boys and girls can join Beavers from the age of five and three quarters to eight years old.
Beaver activities are all about having fun, making friends, learning life skills, adventure and achievement with a mixture of games and crafts and earning badges for their uniform.
They will be invited for a couple of trail sessions with no payment to see if they like it. After this time they will be invested saying their promise (There are alternative versions for other faiths) and can then proudly wear their sweatshirt and Royal Blue neckerchief.
Badges
In Beavers you can earn Challenge, Activity and Staged Badges.
Beaver Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Moving up to Cubs
Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Beavers and embrace your next big adventure.
Uniform and badge placement
Once you’ve settled in and are invested, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Beaver leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some weeks there are visitors attending showing their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
