Beavers
In October 1982, The Scout Association introduced 'Beavers' for its six to eight year olds in response to a growing demand within the Movement for such an optional activity to be available at the discretion of the Scout Groups. In April 1986, they became a recognised Training Section and took the title of Beaver Scouts. In the United Kingdom, Beaver Scouts wear a simple 'uniform'. Their Promise is straight forward - 'I Promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and to love God'. The Beaver Scout Motto is 'Fun and Friends' which describes their aims. Beaver Scouts learn about themselves, exploring their feelings and developing good habits of health and personal safety. They get to know people, finding out about people in their family, the family of Scouting, the local community and the wider world. Beaver Scouts explore, discovering the exciting world of science, nature and technology, exploring the natural and man-made world.
