Beavers is running as a joint section

Due to leader availability, we are not currently running a separate Beavers Colony. Young people from the age of 7 take part in a modified version of our Cubs programme, as part of a joint section.

Who are Beavers?

Beavers are young people aged 7–8 who:

  • Make new friends
  • Try new things
  • Learn new skills
  • Have fun
  • Help other people and make a difference, in their local communities and beyond

Every week, our Beavers meet on Wednesdays, 5:30–6:45pm, to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities — achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.

What do Beavers get up to?

Being a Beaver is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. Here are just a few of the things our Beavers get up to:

  • Exploring the great outdoors
  • Playing games and sports
  • Being creative
  • Learning about the world around them
  • Helping others

Beavers also spend at least one night away each year, whether it's a sleepover at the hall or a camping adventure with our friends in Cubs and Scouts.

Joining Beavers

Beavers is our most popular section for new joiners, so we usually have a waiting list. Let us know through our joining form and we'll be in touch as soon as we have a space.

If your child is too young to join Beavers, you can still register your interest and we'll be in touch when they are old enough and we have a space for them.
