Beaver Volunteers
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouts is safe and open to all. Some volunteer at 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.
What do Beavers do?
Beavers are the second youngest section in Scouting, where the adventure often begins! They make friends, have fun, and learn new skills through games, crafts, and outdoor activities. Whether it’s going on their first camp, earning badges, or helping others, Beavers are encouraged to explore, be curious, and try new things — all while learning to work together and grow in confidence.
