Beavers

Boys and girls can join Beaver Scouts at 6 years old and then move to the next section, Cub Scouts, at about 8 years old.

Beaver Scouts are easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts and they take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, museum visits, investigating and discovering the exciting world of science, nature and technology along with plenty of outdoor activities.

They will also develop new friendships and take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers. It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them!

An important part of Scouting is getting invested – the ceremony where your child becomes part of the 5th Tower Hamlets Family, as well as the worldwide movement of Scouts. It’s at this ceremony that your child will receive their group badges and scarf

Beavers promise to do their best, to be kind and helpful and to love God. Different versions of the promise are available depending on their faith (or absence of one.)
