Beavers

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.

We have two Beaver Colonies attended by around 40 young people from 6 to 8 years old. They belong to the first and youngest section in the Scouting Family. Young people can join Beavers in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday.

Beavers has 3-4 leaders and enjoy a great programme of activities, ensuring a great welcome on either Monday or Thursday night between 6:00pm and 7:00pm in the Scout Hall.

Suitable for ages 6 - 8 years

Fees...

Each group charges a fee (called subscriptions or subs) to cover the costs of running regular meetings. This covers venue hire, insurances and materials for activities. There're sometimes extra charges for special activities, camps and events. We try to keep our subs as low as possible. so that anyone can come to Scouts. If you need help paying subs, please speak to your leader.

How to Join...

Currently the best chance of securing a space is to email us with a request to join the waiting list on your child’s 5th birthday. Even then we cannot guarantee that a space will be available when they turn 6. Children who are still on the waiting list on their 7th birthday, and have not been offered a place into Beavers, will automatically be transferred to the Cubs’ waiting list.

If you would like to join one of our sections, please email us at 30thcraigalmond@gmail.com stating the name and date of birth of the child you would like added to the list. We would also suggest that you contact other local Scout Groups too, to increase your chances of joining The Scout Association.
