Beavers

Beavers are the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next Section, Cubs, between 8 and 8.5 years old.

Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others.

We have two popular groups at St James Hill, Keepers Colony (Wednesday night) and Powell’s Colony (Thursday night). They usually meet in term times at 6.30pm to 7.30pm at the Scout Hut.

If you wish to join the Beavers, please click here to fill out your details and a leader will be in touch. Please note, they are all volunteers so please patient for your reply!

Meet the Beaver Mascots:

Chomper The Beaver Mascot

Chomper has been an important part of the group for 5 years, and spends his time when he’s not at Beavers chopping down trees and making dams.

Fun Fact: Chomper and his friend Tom like to make sure new Beavers don’t get scared in their first few weeks!

Tom is a full-time Beaver, and has been with us for 5 years. He loves eating Cheerios and Coco Pops! Tom and his friend Chomper help make sure new Beavers don’t get scared in their first few weeks!

Fun Fact: Each week Tom stays at a Beaver’s house and joins in with all the fun they have, and makes sure he eats all his vegetables whilst there!
