We have three Beaver Colonies that meet either on Monday or Wednesday evening or on Saturday morning at the Scout Hut during term time. Our meetings consists of registration, inspection and then fun and games. We have various activities, competitions, singing, contests and stories to learn and take part in. We have a refreshment break about half way through the evening and end the evening with our closing ceremony. We work towards the Beaver activity and challenge badges and encourage the Beavers to try and earn their Chief Scout Bronze Award before they leave Beavers to join Cubs. Each colony consists of 30 boys and girls, who are grouped into five different coloured lodges. Each lodge has its own flag and has an older Beaver as a Lodge Leader and another Beaver as their assistant. These Beavers help to settle new Beavers into their lodges and the colony. Our adult leaders and helpers are named after animals. Parent helpers are essential to the smooth running of the colony, and all parents are expected to help at least once a term.
