Beaver Scout activities are a
combination of learning and having fun. They learn about
themselves and how to look after themselves, they get to
know people from their local community. They find out
about life in other countries and explore through
organised activities. They care by helping those around
them.
uniform_
Scouting is a uniformed organisation and
like all other sections Beavers wear a uniform that tells
everyone they are a Beaver Scout. For instance, people
can tell what Colony you belong to by looking at the colour
of your scarf.

The Aim of Scouting
in Balfron is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

Beaver Scouts are
the youngest section of the movement and is open
to 6 and 8 year olds who like having fun and
making friends. Beaver Scouts usually meet once
a week as a "Colony". Like all other
sections the Colony is run by trained, voluntary
leaders and helpers. Many of these are parents
of Beaver Scouts.
Beaver Scouting is about:
having fun
making friends
keeping the
Promise
sharing
making
progress
using a
variety of groupings
Using a variety of methods, Beaver
Scouts are guided to:
learn about
themselves
get to know
people
explore
care
be creative
Leaders are encouraged to approach each of
these areas in a variety of ways by
including activities sometimes close to the
Beaver Scouts' own experiences, sometimes
based in the local community and sometimes
introducing them to issues in the wider
world.
