Squirrels

Every week, Squirrels will gather to grow and learn their way through lots of different games and activities.

Squirrels are young people aged 4 to 6 who:

• Master new skills and try new things

• Have fun and go on adventures

• Make friends

• Are curious about the world around them

• Help others and make a difference, on their own doorstops and beyond

What do Squirrels get up to?

Squirrels can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way.

The one-hour sessions will be a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts, and they’ll help everyone get ready for the adventure of school too.

Sessions will be packed with outdoors activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help our youngest members learn the skills they need for life. Of course, none of it would be possible without the support of the amazing leaders who plan and deliver such an inspiring programme. 

Who leads Squirrels?

Each Drey is made up of young people aged 4 to 6, led by an adult Team Leader. Other adult Team Members are on hand to supervise activities, share their skills and keep everyone safe.

Uniform

Squirrels uniform consists of a red sweatshirt with your badges sewn on and a coloured scarf or 'necker’ to represent your local group. There are lots of other optional accessories you can wear such as hats, hoodies, navy blue trousers or shorts, if you’d like to.
