What if my child is shy?
They can watch first and join in when they are ready. A familiar grown-up and a gentle welcome can make all the difference.
Plan a first visit
Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.
A first visit is a chance for you and your child to see the group in action, meet the leaders, and decide whether Beavers feels right.
What should I know?Before you arrive
A little preparation goes a long way.
Wear something comfortable for moving around and bring the questions that matter to your family. There is no need to know Scouting jargon or arrive with everything figured out.
Curious is more than enough.
Helpful answers
The questions families often bring.
What happens in a session?
Expect a mix of games, making, movement, and small challenges. The exact activity changes, but the welcome stays the same.
What do I need to bring?
Comfortable clothes, weather-ready layers, and an open mind. If something specific is needed, the leaders can let you know.
Keep the conversation going
Not sure what to ask first?
Start with your child’s age, what they enjoy, and anything that would help them feel comfortable. The right first step is simply opening the conversation with the group.
