A Beaver Scout Colony has both boys and
girls aged between 6 and 8 years.
Beaver Scouting is about:
- having fun
- making friends
- keeping the Promise
- sharing
- making progress
- using a variety of groupings
These underpin all that is done in the Colony. Using a variety of methods, Beaver Scouts are guided to:
- learn about themselves
- get to know people
- explore
- care
- be creative
Leaders are encouraged to approach each of these areas in a variety of ways by including activities sometimes close to the Beaver Scouts' own experiences, sometimes based in the local community and sometimes introducing them to issues in the wider world.
