Beavers (Ages 6–8)
Beavers are boys and girls aged 6 to 8—the youngest members of the Scout Movement. Our Beaver Scouts meet in a group called a Colony, which is divided into smaller teams known as Lodges.
Fun and Friendship
Our programme is all about fun and friendship! Beavers enjoy:
-
Playing games and learning through play
-
Making things and exploring creativity
-
Outdoor adventures and nature activities
-
Singing, stories, and visits
-
Learning how to stay safe
-
Most importantly—making new friends!
When your child joins Beavers, they’ll work towards their Membership Badge by learning about Scouting and making their Beaver Promise.
Motto and Promise
-
Motto: Be Prepared
-
Promise:
I promise to do my best,
To be kind and helpful,
And to love God.
Joining Beavers
After attending a few meetings, your child will take part in an investiture ceremony (parents are invited!). This is when they make their Beaver Promise and receive their membership badges, district badges, and a Bassingham Scout Group necker.
Activities and Awards
Beavers take part in a wide range of activities, covering five key areas:
-
Getting to know others
-
Learning about yourself
-
Discovering creativity and practical skills
-
Exploring the world around you
