Beavers
Meet on Wednesdays 17:00 – 18:30
The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of the Scout Group. Beavers enjoy all that Scouting has to offer, being introduced to outdoor activities, having the opportunity to be creative, explore their local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout sleepover with their friends.
If you would like your child to start their journey with Milford and Keyhaven Sea Scouts then the Beaver Colony is the ideal start. Please contact
Who are Beavers
Beavers are young people aged 6 to 8 who:
- Master new skills and try new things
- Have fun and go on adventures
- Make friends
- Are curious about the world around them
- Help others and make a difference, on their own doorstops and beyond
Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Try new things. Make new friends
Beaver Scouts can earn loads of different badges covering a variety of skills:
Activity Badges all offer a chance to try a different skill; from looking after animals to photography, cook to space. There is something for everyone to try and many can even be done from home. Staged Activity Badges are open to all scouts and allow them to get better at a skill over time. From musician to swimmer, first aid to sailing they are core skills to any individual. They also keep track of the number of nights and hikes away a young person has completed.
The highest award a Beaver Scout can work towards is the Chief Scout’s Bronze Award. To reach this, they earn Challenge Awards to really push them in every part of the programme. Chances are every Beaver Scout will complete several by the time they finish at 8.
