Beavers are aged 6–8 years. There are over 2600 Beavers in Berkshire enjoying their Scouting across approximately 140 Beaver Colonies. There are a variety of activity and challenge badges which they work towards to gain their Chief Scout’s Bronze Award.
Join the fun, friendship and activities at the Berkshire Scouts ‘Wild Adventure Days’. The activity takes place during 29–30 March 2025 and is open to Squirrels, Beavers, and Cubs. Click this link for further details.

The Beaver section
Beavers are our youngest members, and generally meet for one hour, or so, per week. They 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 sleepover with their friends.
A Beaver Colony may be organised into smaller groups called Lodges. Lodges can be used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Beaver Colony. They may provide a ‘home’ area for Beavers to gather at points at the start, during or at the end of the Colony Meeting.
