Squirrels – Early Year Provision (4-6 Year olds)
Following a successful pilot, Scouts launched it’s first new section in 35 years in September 2021.
Squirrels get to be active, explore nature and have fun learning outdoors with friends, like all other Scouts.
The emphasis for Squirrels is on having outdoor adventures, making new friends and learning new things, recognised by a new set of badges. Squirrels creates a positive, safe environment for young children to develop, as they learn essential skills for life.
New Squirrels will get to learn new skills and meet new friends while pitching a blanket tent, planting seeds or learning how to spending 50p in a local shop. The programme is crafted to help them develop teamwork, communication, creativity, community awareness and other core skills. New badges that Squirrels can earn will include Feel Good, Be Active, Explore Outdoors, Brilliant Builder and Exciting Experiments.
