BEAVERS

What are Beavers?
Beaver Scouts are boys and girls aged between 6 and 8 years old. They belong to the first and youngest section of Scouting. Young people can join Beavers in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next section, Cub Scouts, between the ages of eight and eight and a half. 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 at a Beaver Scout group which is called a Colony.Some Beaver Scout Colonies organise sleepovers. This can be very exciting as it is often the first time a young person spends a night away from home.

SCOUTS / ROVERS

What are Scouts?
The Scout Section is for boys and girls, usually aged between 10 and 15 years. Scouts are encouraged to enjoy a wide range of activities as part of their programme. Scouting?s about taking part rather than meeting set standards and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are plenty of Awards and Activity Badges. Being outdoors is important and half the programme is given over to taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as the wide range of adventurous activities,
anything from abseiling to yachting. The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and many Scouts now travel abroad. Jamborees both at home and internationally provide a fantastic
opportunity for young people from different parts of the world to share a unique experience. Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure
and opportunities of life while having fun.
