Beaver Scouts

Be Prepared  

 I promise to do my best
To be kind and helpful
And to love God

Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between eight and eight years six months.

Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others. They usually meet together once a week in a Beaver Scout Colony.

Some Beaver Scout Colonies also organise Sleepovers. These are often the first time a young person spends a night away from home. They take place in suitable buildings, often Scout centres.

In Torbay there are 11 Beaver scout Colonies so If you would like to take part in the fun of Beaver Scouting, either as a Beaver Scout, or as an Adult Leader or helper, there are details of contacts for Beaver Scouting in your area in our GROUPS pages.
