A Beaver Scout Colony has both male and female members who are aged between 6 and 8 years.
Beaver Scouting is about:
having fun
making friends
keeping the Promise
sharing
making progress
using a variety of groupings
These underpin all that is done in the Colony. Using a variety of methods, Beaver Scouts are guided to:
learn about themselves
get to know people
explore
care
be creative
Leaders are encouraged to approach each of these areas in a variety of ways by including activities sometimes close to the Beaver Scouts' own experiences, sometimes based in the local community and sometimes introducing them to issues in the wider world.
