First adventures at Sycamore Beavers
Sycamore joined the group in 1996, when Rose Owen started it as our second Beaver Colony. It’s for children aged 6 to 8.
Beavers is where Scouting starts. Each week brings games, crafts, stories and the chance to try something new, all while making friends and growing in confidence.
Can’t make Thursdays? Our other Colony, Beech Beavers, meets on Mondays, 6:00–7:00pm.
What Beavers get up to
- Games, crafts and making things
- Exploring outdoors and learning about nature
- Earning their first badges
- First nights away with their Colony
