Squirrels – Scouting’s new and exciting section for those really eager to join the Scouting family.
As with all our sections, Squirrels is designed to say to young people – be who you want to be and achieve what you want to achieve and why not have some fun whilst doing it?
At an hour a week, Squirrels allows for our youngest members to take their steps into Scouting in a fun environment with the same formula that has sustained Scouting for over 100 years – achievement through activity, fun, laughter and adventure!
This is new for all of us, so why not join the journey with us? Maybe even support the group yourself – yes, we are looking at you, Parents!

The Beaver Colony second section of the Scout Group. Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old, although there is flexibility in this to suit the young person’s needs.
Beavers is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. Your young person may get up to some of these whilst making some friends:
Exploring the great outdoors with your colony either on a day trip or sleeping under the stars and enjoying your first Beaver camp.
Trying new activities and learning new things. Beavers is not school – we don’t learn from books. We learn by exploring, playing and doing. The most important skills you’ll learn at Beavers are the ones that will make you feel super strong standing on your own two feet. We call these character skills.
Helping others by working as a team to help others in your local community and beyond Whether they’re changing the whole world or helping a friend take the leap to try something new on a rainy Tuesday night, they always lend a hand.

8-10.5 years old

Whether or not you have come from Beavers, the Cub Pack continues the adventure! Cubs takes what Beavers starts and takes it to the next level – this may be completing your first weekend in a tent, a day hike, learning to cook – the possibility are boundless!
Cubs learn by doing, and so will you. Some of the skills you develop will be practical, like knowing how to cook a delicious meal or give someone first aid.
But the most important skills you’ll learn at Cubs are the ones that will make you feel confident and happy in your own skin. Whatever skills you’d like to learn, it’s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.
Cubs work as a team to help other people. Together, you’ll learn about global issues and what we can all do to help solve them
Being a Cub is all about making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Scouts
10.5-14 years old

The final section of Scouting we offer – the Scout troop.
Being a Scout is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that will help you weather the storms of life, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school – working with trained volunteers to achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Scouts seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don’t seem to matter but really should. Most importantly, they say yes more often than they say no.
In a society that can often feel increasingly isolated and inward-facing, Scouts build bridges and break barriers.
