Boys and girls aged 6 to 8 years of age.

Beaver Scouts is the youngest of the four youth sections offered by 1st Bedworth and the most popular. This means that we do on occasion need to operate a waiting list. Because of this, we advise anybody interested in joining Beavers to get in touch as soon as possible to check availability and get your name down to avoid disapointment.

At the first meeting, parents are given copies of the information on this page and a registration form. The completed registration form should be returned as soon as possible.

1st Bedworth has two Beaver Colonies:

• Tuesday, 6-7 pm
• Thursday, 545-645 pm

Weekly subscriptions for membership of 1st Bedworth is £1.75 per week for all sections.

This fee covers activity insurance, programme materials, badges and helping to heat, light and maintain the building. It is still payable even if a member does not attend a section meeting.

Please also be aware that activities outside of the section meeting may be at extra cost.

Beaver Scouts meet once a week at their 'Colony'.

Beaver Scout activities are a combination of learning and having fun:

• They learn about and how to look after themselves.
• They get to know people from their local community.
• They find out about life in other countries.
• They explore through organised activities.
• They care by helping those around them.

We also offer occasional activities on other nights and weekends.

Meetings are run by a trained, experienced, Beaver Scout Leader who is supported by a team of Assistant Beaver Scout Leaders and helpers.

As with the other sections of 1st Bedworth, Beavers have their own uniform too:

• A turquoise coloured sweatshirt,
• Royal blue neckerchief,
• Navy blue or black trousers, jogging bottoms or shorts,
• Black shoes or trainers.

The sweatshirt and neckerchief typically costs around £10, and most Beavers wear their school trousers and shoes with their uniform.

Once a new recruit has their uniform they take part in a simple ceremony where they make the promise and become a full member. This ceremony is called an 'investiture' and is held at the end of the section meeting. Parents are more than welcome to attend their child's investiture.
