Wattlesborough Scout Group
Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old, though they can be as young
as five and three quarters.
A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony, and each Colony can be split up into
smaller groups called Lodges.
Beavers have a Promise and Motto, but there is not a Beaver Scout Law. The concepts
of the Scout Law should be presented to Beavers through games, storytelling and other
informal devices.
Wattlesborough Beavers meet on Monday nights between 4.30pm and 6.00pm at Wattlesborough
Village Hall.
Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 1/2, who make up the second section
of the Scouting family, between Beavers and Scouts.
During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try lots of different
activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. Sometimes they
will be able to go camping with the rest of the Pack and take part in all kinds of
outdoor activities.
There are a range of badges available which Cub Scouts can wear on their uniforms
to show everyone how well they're doing.
A Pack of Cub Scouts is organised into Sixes, with each Six named after a colour,
and a Sixer and a Seconder in charge.
Wattlesborough Cubs meet on Monday nights between 6.00pm and 7.30pm at Wattlesborough
Village Hall.
The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. A young
person can come into the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 14½ years old. The
Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and Cubs.
Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their
programme. Participation rather than meeting set standards is the key approach, and
for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a
number of Challenges awards and activity badges.
A Scout Troop is divided into small groups called Patrols, each headed up by an older
Scout called a Patrol Leader, and often with an Assistant Patrol Leader.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, and participating fully
in the adventure and opportunities of life.
Wattlesborough Scouts meet on Monday nights between 7.30pm and 9.00pm at Wattlesborough
Village Hall.
