Beavers are young people aged between 6 and 8 years who are members of the Scout Association. They meet every Wednesday evening during school term time between 5.00 and 6.30 at The Scouting Centre. The Beavers work in small groups called lodges. There are up to 24 boys in a Colony and a team of adults who plan and run the programme.
Beaver Scouts currently wear a blue sweatshirt or tee shirt, navy blue combat trousers, a blue & yellow group scarf, with a maroon coloured woggle.
