What We Do

Beaver Scouts participate in a variety of activities designed to be fun while teaching important life skills:

  • Games and crafts that encourage creativity
  • Nature walks and outdoor activities
  • Community service projects
  • Learning about the Beaver Scout Promise and Law
  • Making new friends and building confidence
  • Participating in ceremonies and special events
