Our main aim is to provide activities which are fun and challenging to the 6-8 year age range, allowing them to try new things, meet new people, make new friends, learn about themselves, others, and the world around them, have fun, play games and all in an environment that is safe. As a team, we encourage the scouts to discover new skills and talents whilst trying to develop them physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.

We deliver activities through a varied weekly programme. Starting with an opening ceremony, we construct an evening from all sorts of fun and adventurous activities, such as games, crafts, chatting, singing, performing, story telling, outings, guests and much, much more; all ending with a closing ceremony to finish the meeting. We also reward the Beavers for good behaviour and personal development through a number of Badges that are available in Beaver Scouting. These badges are worn on the uniform to represent their achievements.

In order for a child to become a Beaver Scout, they are expected to wear uniform, attend at least 4 'starter meetings', learn about the basic history of scouting and be able to accept and recite the Beaver Scout Promise:

Beaver Scout Promise
I Promise to do my best,
To be kind and helpful,
And to love my God.

On completing these objectives, the child will partake in a small investiture ceremony where they'll officially become members of the group and the worldwide scout movement.

Beaver Scouting is very much the foundation of a long term scouting experience. When a Beaver reaches 8 years of age for example, they have the option to continue their scouting adventure in the form of Cub Scouting, which opens up even more adventurous opportunities. Beaver Scouting introduces many of the scouting concepts used in the older scout sections but from an early age.
