Squirrels

We’re starting a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed.

Being a Squirrel

Squirrels is a completely new provision for 4–5 year olds. There are plenty of reasons to get stuck in, as Squirrels gives young people the chance to:

  • Make friends
  • Have fun outdoors
  • Learn new things
  • Earn badges through fun activities

The programme

Take a sneak peak at the amazingly adventurous, fun packed, skills building programme.

Awards

Completing awards challenges you to do more, learn more and be more. See what’s on offer and start your journey to the top.

Activity Badges

Become an expert in something you love, or try something shiny and new. There’s a badge to suit each and every Squirrel.

Moving up to Beavers

Eventually, it’ll be time to say goodbye to Squirrels and explore your next big adventure with Beavers.


Squirrel leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe and open to all. Some lead the Drey 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.
