Beaver Scout Colony

Welcome to 64^th Portsmouth (St Swithun's) Beaver’s Webpage. Our Beaver Scout Colony caters for both boys and girls within the age range of 5¾ years to 8 years. We currently have a waiting list but if you would like to get in contact please do so by clicking the link at the bottom of the page.

At the 64^th Beavers we have 4 teams that we call lodges. These lodges are named after animals; badgers, foxes, squirrels and rabbits. Each lodge is colour co-ordinated and can be told apart by the colour woggle they are wearing.

We try to establish a sense of responsibility in our older Beavers by making them lodge chiefs and lodge deputies. These can be told apart by wearing white and grey woggles as well as their colours. When a lodge chief is due to go up to cubs the lodge deputy will take over and a new deputy chosen.

All new Beaver Scouts attend Beavers for 4 weeks before getting invested. At the investiture ceremony the Beaver makes the Beaver Scout Promise and receives their neckerchief and group badges- it is usual for parents and friends to be invited to attend this event.

Beaver Scout Badges and Awards
