What are Beavers Scouts?
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 seven years and
six months 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.
