Squirrel Scouts – 4 to 6 years
The Scout section for four and five year olds is called Squirrels. It helps young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed.
Meeting times and location are to be confirmed. It is expected they will start on Monday 2nd November 2026 for the 2026/2027 school term.
Squirrels Scouts are run slightly different to the other sections there is no expectation for parents to stay; but Parents are welcome to stay if they wish to. However we would also encourage parents to think about allowing their child to gain independence and confidence by allowing them to attend by themselves. This is entirely the parent's choice and we will respect their individual decisions. We will run a parent rota, asking one or two parents to stay to help each week.
We will cover a wide variety of activities and experiences, ranging from craft, building and constructing, team games, outdoor activities, exploring nature and science, cooking, and finding out about each other and the world around us.
Every week, Squirrels will gather to grow and learn their way through lots of different games and activities
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.
