Welcome to the Beaver Scout page of the Lisburn and District website. We hope this page will help to tell you more about what we are all about and encourage you to come and join us as we undertake our adventures.

Beaver Scouts are currently the youngest members of the Scouting family. They are young people aged 6-8 years, who when they meet collectively are known as a Beaver Scout Colony. Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between eight and eight years six months.

Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, undertaking a structured and varied badge programme, going on visits, undertaking arts and crafts and helping others. All of the Beaver Colonies in Lisburn and District usually meet together once a week. Our activities also include, meeting interesting people and even sleepovers, usually held in an approved Scout Hall.  For more information look under http://www.scouts.org.uk/beavers/

We currently have over 120 Beaver Scouts in the District meeting each week, mostly during term time. Each Beaver Scout Colony is a member of a Scout Group and each Scout Group is a member of a District. There are currently 12 Scout Groups in our District.
