So, What do Beavers do?
So, What do Beavers do?
Being a Beaver is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways and most of all, having fun and making new friends.
Going to Beavers is very different from going to school. Instead of learning from books, you’ll figure the world out by exploring, playing and doing.
Beavers work as a team to help other people, in their local communities and beyond. Whether they’re changing the whole world or helping a friend take the leap to try something new on a rainy Tuesday night, they always lend a hand.
Aim of the game: Working for Bronze!

At Scouts, young people learn how to speak up and take the lead. But they told us that the programme didn’t recognise this enough. That’s what the new YouShape Award is all about.
The award is split into four badges. Young people will earn the central badge first and then choose the order in which they earn the rest. They can decide on their requirements and what they want to do and are then work with their leader to decide when they've met each requirement.

All of these moments are great for developing young people’s confidence, but we know how daunting it can be for the one packing their overnight bag and waving them off at the gates. And we know it doesn’t necessarily get easier as they grow.
Young people thrive in secure surroundings, at home and away. Wherever we go, we’re serious about keeping them safe.
As a parent or carer, you’re bound to have questions about how we do this. Read here to find out more.
