The Beaver Scout Promise

What is Beaver Scouting?

The Beaver Scout Promise is:

I promise to do my best

To be kind and helpful

And to love God

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 eight 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.

Beavers can apply for as many hobby badges as they want.  They have to take part in a hobby or activity for an agreed length of time, and have the form authorised by teacher/manager/parent.

Examples include: extra-curricular activities  e.g. music lessons, football club, sketch club, karate, swimming, etc.  Some beavers like to take responsibility for caring for their pet (feeding/grooming,  etc), others attend Sunday school regularly.   Other pursuits could  include interests in fossils, stamp collecting (does anybody do this any more??), fishing, etc.

Please download and print the application form on the left, complete and return to one of the Beaver leaders when your child has completed their chosen task.
