Beavers

Fun and friendship are the cornerstones of the Beaver program. Through an adventurous program of outdoor activities, creative play, music, and cooperative games, Beavers enjoy time with their friends (and meet new ones), learn how to get along within a group, and develop the confidence to be themselves.

Beavers share many outdoor adventures with their friends in the colony. Nature walks, short hikes, tree plantings and family sleepovers give Beavers a taste of outdoor fun. Through these activities, Beavers develop an appreciation and a sense of caring for the environment.

Beavers are a vital part of the community, country and world in which they live. Visits to parks, power plants, fire and police stations thrill young Beavers and illustrate the many important facets of their community.

Apple Day began in 1932 in Saint John, N.B., when 21,000 apples were handed out as a way for Scouting to say thank you to the community. As a result, donations were made to Scouts in return for receiving an apple. Since then, each October, Scouts have hit the community to raise funds for their programs. Our Apple Day Co-ordinator will be sending out information shortly.
