Scouts provide adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for half a million young people aged 4-25. Personal development means promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are ‘learning by doing,’ when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. There are groups for different age groups. All groups are open to boys and girls. Squirrels – 4 to 6 years Every week, Squirrels will gather to grow and learn their way through lots of different games and activities Squirrels can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way. The one-hour sessions are a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts, and they’ll help everyone get ready for the adventure of school too. Sessions are packed with outdoors activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help members learn the skills they need for life. Beavers Beavers are young people, aged 6 to 8, who: Master new skills and try new things Have fun and go on adventures Make friends Are curious about the world around them Help others and make a difference, on their own doorsteps and beyond Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies 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.
