1st Woodley Scout Group

Beavers

Welcome to the Beavers section - don't forget the new shopping link ->

The beavers at 1st Woodley were asked what are beavers all about

'Having Fun, Making things, Making lots of noise, Playing games, Learning how to do new things such as cooking and making lots of mess without being told off and it is exciting ! '

Beavers are the youngest section of the group they can join 3 Months before there 6th birthday and stay until they go up to Cubs at 8 years

Before they are invested the parent needs to buy a Turquise Beaver sweater (£10) from the Scout Shop

They can be invested on the 4th week of attending and get a red necker, membership, county, & district Badges which are given by the group and this is also when they start paying subscriptions.

The new Beaver doesn't have to do anything on there own when a child is invested the Colony say the Beaver Promise together which is,

I Promise to do my best to be kind & helpful and to love God

We also hold the Waiting List so that Parents can put there childs name on our list at an earlier age to make sure they get a place.
