Fun and friendship is the cornerstone of the Beaver Scouts program.

Beaver Scouts are welcomed into a group of energetic boys and girls just like them. They will meet with kind and caring leaders that will help them with anything they need to know about being a good Scout. They will feel respected and appreciated for their own uniqueness, and encouraged to bring all they can to their group and activities.
Cub Scouts
8-10 yrs,
Meet Mondays,

Challenging hikes, weekend camps, and an introduction to water activities like swimming or sailing are just a few of the fun outdoor adventures that our Cub Scouts enjoy.
With the Cub motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cub Scouts are encouraged to try new and more challenging activities.
Learning important first aid skills, paddling a canoe for the first time, or leading a game at camp will open the door for Cubs to try other adventures they never thought possible.
Along the way, Cub Scouts learn how to take care of themselves and work as a team – and most importantly have a lot of fun!

It can be the best time and the most fun you've ever had!
