Where your child can play games, have fun and now earn badges while being introduced to scouting. Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others. They 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.
There are Awards and badges for Beaver Scouts but the most important aspect of Beaver Scouting is now participation. The Joining in Badge shows that the young person has taken part in a Balanced Programme of activities over a period of time.

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.
