Squirrels

4 - 6 years old

Who are Squirrel Scouts and what do they do?

Squirrel Scouts are the youngest Scout section of the Scout Movement and are for boys and girls from 4 to 6 years of age.

Every week Squirrels will gather to grow and learn their way through lots of different games and activities.

Squirrel Scouts can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way.

The one-hour sessions will be a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts, and they’ll help everyone get ready for the adventure of school too.

Sessions will be packed with outdoors activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help our youngest members learn the skills they need for life. Of course, none of it would be possible without the support of the amazing leaders who plan and deliver such an inspiring programme.

All leaders in Scout Groups are volunteers who undergo regular training and DBS checks etc.
