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:
- Make friends
- Have fun outdoors
- Learn new things
- Earn badges through fun activities
This new programme is currently rolling out across the district. Squirrels might not be open in your community just yet, but you can still register your interest in volunteering or registering your young person on the joining list for Squirrels now. We’ll get in touch when there’s a group near you!
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 Drey week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.
