Beaver Scouts (6-8)

Beavers is for young people aged 6 to 8 and supports their continued development through fun, friendship and adventure. Across North Hambleton District, Beaver Colonies deliver an inclusive programme that encourages young people to try new things, build independence and develop early life skills.

Beavers take part in a wide range of activities including games, creative activities, visits, outdoor experiences and sleepovers. They work towards badges and awards that recognise individual achievement and personal progress, while learning about teamwork, responsibility and their local community.

Sessions are led by trained adult volunteers who are committed to creating an environment that is safe, supportive and inclusive, in line with The Scouts’ Equal Opportunities and Inclusion policies, North Hambleton District works proactively with families to identify and implement reasonable adjustments where appropriate. This may include adapting activities, providing additional support or making changes to communication to ensure every Beaver can take part fully.
