Sandstone Beaver Scouts

The Sandstone Beaver Scouts belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family.

Young people can join the Sandstone Beaver Scouts at 6 and they move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, around their 8th birthday. Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others.

Our two Sandstone Beaver Scout “Colonies” have around 24 members each, including boys and girls. The members are organised into four Lodges (Red, Yellow, Green and Blue). Each Beaver Scout wears a woggle corresponding to his or her Lodge colour.

Beaver Scouts do not take on permanent leadership roles but are expected to develop a pride in their own Lodge and to help newer or younger members.

The two Beaver Colonies meet from 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm every Wednesday evening (Hillside Beavers) or Thursday evening (Woodland Beavers) during the school terms of Bickerton and Tattenhall Primary Schools. Trips and other events are organised in addition.
