Who are Squirrels?
Squirrels are young people aged 4 to 6.
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.

Adventure – Learn a new skill, push yourself to try new things and have a great time doing it. Adventure is all about learning about yourself through fun and exciting activities.
Creativity – Get crafty, being creative is about more than art, explore your creative self through mindful activities and sharing how you see your world.
Helping others – What makes us Scouts? Helping others is an essential skill of scouting, we share our experiences with others and help others to make the world a better place.
Outdoors– Get your walking boots on and get outside, outdoors is all about spending time outside and trying new, exciting activities to build your confidence.
Skills – Develop those all important skills for life. Explore what skills you already have, teach others and learn from those around you.
Around the world – Explore the world around you. What makes you, you? Around the world is a chance to learn about your family, friends, community and the wider world.

How you can Support Us?
We know everyone has a skill, hobby or interest we can use at Scouts and anytime you can offer to help out is awesome. You can volunteer as little or as much as you like, we’re super flexible.
Interested?
Speak to one of the leaders about the different tasks we need support with at each meeting. If you could help us out once or twice a term, it’ll make a big difference.
