Beavers is open to all 6 to 8 year olds and offers a great place to make new friends, try new skills, be creative, support our local and wider community and go on many adventures. Beavers also get the opportunity to explore the outdoors, and enjoy a night or two away at a Beaver Sleepover or Beaver Camp.
We promote a fun and safe environment for Beavers to challenge themselves and learn some very valuable Skills for Life.

Badges
There is a great variety of badges that Beavers work towards during their time in the Colony. They are split into four main sections; Core Badges, Activity Badges, Challenge Badges and Staged Badges.
The variety in badges help us create a balanced programme that allows the Beavers to explore a wide range of challenges and new experiences as well as building on what they already know.
The highest award in Beavers is the Chief Scout Bronze Award. Beavers earn this award when they have completed all 6 Challenge Badges and have completed 4 of the Activity or Staged Badges.
