Beaver Scouts are girls and boys aged between 6 and 8 years of age.
Across the district they can be found making things, playing games, learning something new, looking at the world around them and making some long lasting friendships.
It could be as random as singing one week to visiting someone who helps us the next week.
Many take part in sleepovers or camps throughout the year, building their confidence and vital independence. This should happen once a year at least and may even happen with other colonies joining up.
As a district, they often join together for big events so Beavers can come together and meet others like them including events with other Hampshire Beavers such as a trip to 4 Kingdoms or Paulton’s Park.
In our district, our lovely Beavers and their leaders are supported by our Lead Volunteer (Beavers) Julie Phillips-Stafford. Email her here –
Earning badges
Beaver Scouts can earn loads of different badges covering a variety of skills:
Activity Badges all offer a chance to try a different skill; from looking after animals to photography, cook to space. There is something for everyone to try and many can even be done from home. Staged Activity Badges are open to all scouts and allow them to get better at a skill over time. From musician to swimmer, first aid to sailing they are core skills to any individual. They also keep track of the number of nights and hikes away a young person has completed.
The highest award a Beaver Scout can work towards is the Chief Scout’s Bronze Award. To reach this, they earn Challenge Awards to really push them in every part of the programme. Chances are every Beaver Scout will complete several by the time they finish at 8 years old.
