Our Beaver Colony
Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, our Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others.
Our Beaver Colony is for young people (male or female) aged between six and eight years old. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday, and they can move up to Cubs between the ages of eight and eight years six months.
Beavers meet at the HQ every Monday between 1800-1915
If your child wants to take part in the fun of Beaver Scouting at 4th Ewell, please Contact Us.

 | Joining Beavers
We welcome new members to a no obligation free trial to make sure Beavers is for them. Once a young person has been in a section for 6-8 weeks, they will be asked if they want to be invested in order to become a full member of the Colony. This will involve learning a bit about Scouting, buying a uniform (see Scout Shop) and making a Promise.
The Beaver Scout Promise is: I promise to do my best To be kind and helpful And to love God. Parents will always be invited to attend their child’s investiture, which usually takes place at either the beginning or the end of an evening meeting. When your child is invested, they will be presented with a 4th Ewell scarf and a set of badges to go on their uniform. The diagrams below show where these badges should go. |

Chief Scout's Bronze Award
This badge is the highest award available in the Beaver Scout section. It is gained by completing the Challenge Badges:
If a Beaver Scout has not quite completed the requirements for the Chief Scout's Bronze Award when they move on to the Cub Scout Pack, they may complete them in their first few weeks in the Cub Scout Pack. |  |
Activity badges
Activity Badges are optional, but they provide an opportunity to reward a young person who has taken part in an activity over a period of time. They should raise interest and extend a young person's skills throughout their time in Scouting. There are 12 badges available for Beaver Scouts.
In addition, there are six Staged Activity Badges that can be undertaken as a young person progresses through the sections, from Beaver to Explorer Scout.
You may find that your son/daughter has already met the requirements of some of the badges in their other extra curricular activities. Good examples are the Swimmer and Musician Badges. It's well worth having a look through, then bring in any evidence you have to show your Leader. For more information on the Activity Badges, click here.
