Who are Stithians Beaver Scouts?

Stithians Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between 6 and 8 years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Stithians Beaver Scouts at 5¾ years old.

Stithians Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, going on visits, helping others and earning lots of badges.

They meet together once a week in Stithians Beaver Scout Colony at the Stithians Resource Centre.

Beavers can move up to the next section, Stithians Cub Scouts, between the ages of 8 and 8½ years old.

Beaver Scouts also take part in sleepovers. These are often the first time a young person spends a night away from home.

Sleepovers take place in suitable buildings, often Scout centres, for 1 night only. Beaver Scouts do not camp overnight under canvas.
