Beavers – Shanto Colony

Try new things. Make new friends. Joining Beavers is just the beginning of your big adventure.

Beaver Scouts are our second section and are between the ages of 6-8 years old. They meet weekly on Fridays to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.

They will also have the opportunity to 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!

The program is designed to be a fun and engaging introduction to scouting, and offers children the opportunity to learn new skills, make friends, and explore the world around them. Through regular meetings and special events, Beavers learn about teamwork, respect for others, and environmental responsibility, while also having lots of fun along the way.

Our Shanto Beaver Colony meets on Fridays from 6pm to 7pm
