The Beaver Colony is open to boys aged between 6 and 8 years of age.

Unfortunately the Beaver Colony is currently closed as we have no leader. If you would like to help re open the Colony please contact one of the existing leaders or use the e-mail link below.

Usually places are offered to boys following these criteria:

• Boys who move into the area who are already enrolled Beavers in a different Colony.
• Any other boys of the appropriate age, in order of date of their entry to the waiting list.

Leaders

back to top

Almost all adults in Scouting, including uniformed Leaders, are volunteers and as such they give their time for free.

The Beaver Scout Leaders have overall responsibility for the Colony, and the activities which members take part in. There are other helpers including young Scouts and Guides working towards their service awards, and parents are requested to help with outdoor activities.

The Fulwood Beaver Colony meet on a Monday night. Meetings start at 5:15pm and finish at 6:15pm unless otherwise informed.

The current programme is shown below. If you have any suggestions for future activities please let the Beaver Leader know at the e-mail address here [please remove the spam trap i.e. the number 999 before sending the e-mail]

Uniform

back to top

Scouts is a uniformed organisation. All Beaver Scouts are expected to wear uniform for:

• Colony Meetings,
• when arriving and departing from events and
• for Parades.

Boys should take pride in their uniform and do their best to look smart. Uniform consists of:

Turquoise Sweatshirt Group Neckerchief - Grey with Purple Stripe Coloured Plastic Woggle Navy Blue activity trousers

Beavers can work towards a number badges during their time in the Colony. The main badges worked for are the Challenges, leading to the Chief Scout's Bronze Award, the top award that can be earned in Beavers. There are three Challenges, and the requirements for them can be found in the Beaver Scout Logbook, or viewed on ScoutBase UK [go to Scoutbase UK Beaver Scout Index]

Activity Badges can be worked on by any Beaver and there are five to choose from. The detailed requirements of all the badges are in the Beaver Scout Logbook, and in the ScoutBase UK Badge Book [go to Scoutbase UK Beaver Scout Index]. Copies are available to borrow from the Pack, or alternatively the Logbook can be purchased from the Scout Shop.

It is hoped that parents will want to support their son's Scout Group. There are many ways in which this support can be given:

• Helping with occasional meetings and outdoor activities,
  where a 1 to 4 leader ratio is required
• Transport for your son to venues for events and meetings
• By supporting the Group's fund raising activities
• Attending the Group's A.G.M.

Scouting costs money. The Leaders do their best to offer quality Scouting for the lowest possible cost. The main source of income for the Group is the Membership Subscription paid by all members. Subs are currently paid on a Term basis.
