Beaver Scouting is about having FUN and making new FRIENDS
This underpins 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
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.
