Squirrels

We’re starting a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed.

Groups with Squirrel Dreys:

Being a Squirrel

When you join Squirrels, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.

Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!

Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Squirrels and embrace your next big adventure.

Squirrel leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Drey week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.
