Squirrels – 4 to 6 years
We’ve started opening a new provision for four to six 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.
When you join Squirrels, you’ll be introduced to loads of new activities, people and things. Here's everything you need to know.
Completing awards challenges you to do more, learn more and be more. See what’s on offer and start your journey to the top.
Become an expert in something you love, or try something shiny and new. There’s a badge to suit each and every Squirrel.
Eventually, it’ll be time to say goodbye to Squirrels and explore your next big adventure with Beavers.
Want to be a Scout? Find your local group
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.
Supporting Squirrels at home
Develop your Squirrel's confidence, communication and language skills by chatting, playing and having fun together. Discover free and easy activities to do at home.
