Beavers 6 to 8 years

Welcome to Beavers!

Beavers are the youngest members of our Scouting family.

There is plenty of fun and adventure – Beavers try lots of new things, earn badges and learn new skills.

We have two colonies, one meets on a Tuesday evening (5.30-6.30pm) and the other on a Thursday evening (6-7pm). Timings are subject to alteration.

Beavers activities

Our Beavers colonies take part in a wide range of activities throughout the term. 

Beavers also have the opportunity to take part in local events as part of the wider Scouting community, such as the Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church and the Ponteland Remembrance Day Parade. Recent events include a sleepover at Timestep Activity Centre, Blyth.

Beavers usually work towards one or more badges per half-term. Here is an example of a half-term programme of activities, where Beavers work toward their International Badge:

  • Welcoming new Beavers & setting up new lodges
  • Learning flags and songs from other countries
  • Learning about Beavers in other countries and greetings in other languages
  • Foods from other countries
  • Young Leaders session
  • Problem solving games & investing our new Beavers
