Being a Beaver
Beaver Scouts are for young people, both boys and girls, aged between 6 and 8 years old. Beavers is all about fun and friendship! There are lots of different activities to try and badges to gain. 1st Godstone Beaver Scouts meet in the Endeavour on a Wednesday evening from 5.30 pm – 6.30 pm. Due to the popularity of our sections, our groups occasionally reach maximum capacity. We currently operate a waiting list to ensure every young person gets a fair chance to join the adventure. Add your child’s details to our list below, and we will be in touch as soon as a space opens up.
Activities and what you’ll get up to
There are many fun and exciting things for Beaver Scouts to do, You will get an introduction to outdoor activities, have the opportunity to be creative, explore your local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout sleepover with your new friends.
Awards
Completing awards challenges you to do more, learn more and be more. See what’s on offer and start your journey to the top.
Beaver Promise
When a new Beaver has visited the colony a few times, and they are ready to join officially, we have a short ceremony called an ‘investiture.’ This is when they make their Beaver Scout Promise by repeating it after the Beaver Scout Leader.
Moving up to Cubs
Beavers is the start of many children’s scouting adventures, with most moving up to Cubs when they turn 8 years old. Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Beavers and embrace your next big adventure.
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Beaver leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
