Try new things & Make new friends. Joining Beavers is just the beginning of your Scouting adventure.

Being a Beaver (6-8 years)

When you join Beavers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.

Beavers is the youngest section at 7th Airedale but that doesn’t mean our sessions are any less exciting, we meet every Tuesday night during term time from 6:30pm – 7:30pm and get up to lots of fun packed Indoor and Outdoor activities.

Beaver leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
