Beaver Scouts meet on Monday nights in the Burrows hall from 6.30-7.30pm are the youngest section of the Scouting family. We welcome all boys provided they’re between the ages of 6 and 8 and are ready to go on a fun adventure!
From playing simple games to going out on fun and educational visits, our programme constantly changes and we try our best to offer a wide range of activities.
Beavers have a wide range of badges that we work through as a colony throughout the year, from Animal Care badge to the more outdoor, Camp Activity Badge. Our Beavers learn many new skills during their time at Beavers and are taught some important life lessons but most importantly, they will make new friends along the way.
Children join our Beaver for many reasons. It might be they have heard great things from their friends about all the cool stuff our Colony gets up to every week. Perhaps parents or carers are keen for them to join. Whatever the reasons, you are welcome.

Scouts for Boys
Scouts meet on Thursday nights from 7.30-9.30pm for boys aged 10½ to 14½ in the Scout and Burrows Hall. Scouting is about developing young people as good citizens with a range of skills and values that contribute to the society in which they live and beyond. The scouting programmes offers a range of activities that encompass issues such as the environment, social concerns, faith, health, personal development and team work skills.
The boys are challenged to examine their role as good citizens through badge work as well as participation in games, activities and nights out as part of the Troop programme. A key part of any Scouts development is the camping experience where skills are developed within a teamwork setting and basic survival skills are developed from camping under canvas to cooking on an open fire without utensils
