Beaver Scouts are aged between 6 and 8 years old. We aim to teach the young children the starting steps of scouting, which includes life skills they wouldn’t normally get taught at home or school.
- Master new skills and try new things
- Have fun and go on adventures
- Make friends
- Are curious about the world around them
- Help others and make a difference, on their own doorsteps and beyond
The most important skills you’ll learn at Beavers are the ones that will make you feel super strong standing on your own two feet. We call these character skills. They include things like integrity – which means 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.
These can be skills like first aid including how to carefully put a fully grown adult into the recovery position, and how to perform CPR in an emergency. How to use morse code and phonetics alphabet, all the way to also helping in the community and how important our local community is to all
Everything they learn will go towards badges they can earn, which can then be sown onto their uniforms.
Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in your child/ren joining the wide world of scouting.
The meetings are every Monday during term time from 5:30pm to 6:45pm
