Colony Meetings

Beavers run for ages 6-8 every Wednesday night from 17:45 – 19:00. We only stop during the school holidays.

At Beavers we have a 2 year programme and aim over this period to complete the Chief Scout Bronze award with each Beaver. The Chief Scout Bronze award consists of the following challenge badges, The Adventure Challenge, Outdoor challenge, Personal Challenge, Skills Challenge, Teamwork Challenge, and the World Challenge.

Camps and Sleepovers

Each term we hold one two night camp and if possible one single night sleepover. Two night camps are held in Scout Association owned buildings within 1½ hours from Billingham. Kit lists are provided for each camp and vary depending on type of venue. All kit should be clearly marked with the Beaver’s name.

Our Charter

We plan a programme following the Scout Associations guidelines to allow a Synthonia Beaver Scout over a period of 2 years to achieve the Chief Scouts Bronze Award. To ensure this happens each term each beaver will have the option to:

• Attempt at least one challenge award
• Attempt at least three activity badges
• Attempt at least one level of one staged activity badge
• Attend one District or County event.
• Attend two events or visits away from the Scout Hut on a colony night
• Attend one two night camp away from the Scout Hut
• Attend one sleepover at the Scout Hut

We want our Beavers to learn and experience new things, have fun and look fondly on their time spent as a beaver while at Synthonia.

Uniform

Beaver uniform consists of a turquoise sweatshirt and navy blue combat trousers. Synthonia provide our groups neckerchief and woggle as part of the joining fee.
