Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others. They meet together once a week in a Colony.

Beaver Scouts have a new uniform which was introduced in June 2001. It consists of Turquoise polo shirt (or sweatshirt) and navy blue trousers. Beavers also wear a Group scarf.

The Beaver Scouts have an exciting, varied and interesting programme. Some work towards their Bronze Chief Scout Award. Beavers "swim up" to Cubs when they are eight years old.
