Beavers
5 to 7 years of age.
The Beaver program emphasizes having fun while encouraging children to feel good about themselves, their friends and family, God, and nature. Beavers helps children learn basic social skills and gain self confidence. The Beaver program promotes activities that encourage children to:
" find examples of their own spiritual beliefs
" experience and express love and joy
" be healthy and have good feelings about themselves
" develop a sense of belonging and sharing in small group activities
" develop a sense of cooperation through non-competitive activities
The Beaver program is built around a lively variety of games, crafts, music, storytelling, playacting, spiritual fellowship and the outdoors. Beaver activities stress cooperation and teamwork, and can involve the whole family.
The outdoors is an essential part of the Beaver program. Weekend events, picnics, short nature hikes and family based camping opportunities round out the Beaver experience.
Beavers meet in a group called a colony. The colony is split into smaller groups called lodges. There is one leader for every five Beavers. Each Beaver learns a promise, law and motto to help guide their personal development.
Beaver Promise:
I promise to love God and help take care of the world.
Beaver Law:
A Beaver has fun, works hard and helps family and friends.
Beaver Motto:
Sharing, Sharing, Sharing

2nd Annual White Tail Transition Camp

Brant District Beavers held their 2nd annual White Tail Transition Camp at Camp Impessa on Saturday, June 8-9, 2002. Thirty-one 7-8 year olds enjoyed a warm, fun-packed weekend learning new and exciting games, crafts and stories about the Cub program. This consisted of the history of Scouting, badge work, the solar system, and trail markings during a scavenger hunt - to name a few. What better way to alleviate any fears or concerns about swimming up to Cubs than to attend a camp to learn more fun and adventurous things to do at camp. ... They are all eager to get registered for Cubs in September.
