Our Beaver Colony

Monday evenings – 6pm – 7.15pm, term time only

The Beaver Scouts section is for young people aged 6 to 8 years old. Our programme is filled with fun activities, crafts and games to keep our young people excited and engaged.

Beaver Scouts take part in many activities to help them develop skills for life – whether thats designing and building a model boat to explore their imagination and practice their building, learning about home emergencies and how to cross the road safely, or even going on a nighttime hike to look at the moon, stars, and planets to learn about our solar system. From treasure hunts to geocaching, from making Christmas decorations to being a mad scientist, Beavers offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Yearly, 6th Holme Valley Beavers also hold a number of sleepovers as well as other events some with neighbouring colonies, where fun filled activities take place. We attended the Easter Egg Hunt at Bradley Wood and a Beaver Sports Day at Holmfirth High School.
