Being a Squirrel
Squirrels. A new adventure in a well known tail. Squirrels is a completely new provision for 4 and 5 year olds. There are plenty of reasons to get stuck in, as Squirrels gives young people the chance to:
Squirrel Terminology
Section – Scouting is made up of six Sections; Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Network. A child/young person moves up the Sections as they get older and the activities and opportunities provide reflect that age range. All Sections earn badges, take part in camps/sleepovers and outdoor activities.
Woggle – this is a device used to loosely secure the card around the neck to a Squirrel Drey
Necker – this is the card that your child will wear when in uniform.
The Squirrel Scout Promise – each Section has a ‘Promise’ which is a simple way to help young people (and adults) keep the Fundamentals of Scouting in mind. The Promise is a commitment made by all Members as they join Scouting.
Squirrel Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Squirrel leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
