Squirrels

We’ve started a new provision for four to six-year-olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it’s needed most.

When you join Squirrels, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Squirrels are easily recognised by their distinctive Red sweatshirts.

The one-hour sessions are a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts, and they’ll help them get ready for the adventure of school too.

Sessions are packed with indoor as well as outdoor activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help our youngest members start to 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.

 

We currently have one Squirrel Drey, called Magpies.  They meet at Long Crendon.

Magpie Squirrels – meet Thursday’s from 4:00pm to 5:00pm

Squirrel Scout Promise:

The Promise is a simple way to help young people their shared Scout values. Every Squirrel Scout promises to stick by these values when they become a member.

I promise to do my best
To be kind and helpful
And to love our world.

There are alternative versions of the Squirrel Promise available here:
