Squirrels

Start your scouting journey by joining squirrels. You will make new friends, have fun outdoors, learn new skills and earn badges.

Being a Squirrel

When you join Squirrels, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.

Badges & Awards

Become an expert in something you love, or try something shiny and new. Completing Badges & Awards lets you do more, learn more and be more. See what’s on offer and start your journey to the top.

Squirrel Promise

As well as enjoying plenty of adventures, being a Squirrel is about exploring who you are and what you stand for. These are big ideas, and when you join the Drey, you’ll start thinking about them by making a promise. A promise is a set of words that mean something to you, which you try to follow everyday.

Uniform

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them! Buy your uniform from the our Scout store and you’ll be supporting Local Scouts!

Upcoming Squirrel Events

Squirrel leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe and open to all. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.

Moving up to Beavers

Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Beavers and embrace your next big adventure.
