All About Squirrels
Squirrel Scouts are the youngest section of the scouting family. Squirrels can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way.
Our one-hour sessions are a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts.
Squirrels is packed with outdoors activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help them learn the skills they need for life.
Squirrels are boys and girls aged between four and six years old. Once they reach six years old, they will move onto the Beaver Section.
Amazing Experiences
Each badge is packed with wow and wonder, perfect for anyone who’s ever asked ‘Why?’ (or ‘Why not?’). You’ll tell stories and play games. Get active and explore the outdoors. Become a brilliant builder and a super chef. There’s something for everyone – and that means that there’s something for you.

Badges
Activity Badges
Many of the badges available are activity badges, which allow Squirrels to show their progress in existing pursuits, but also to try all kinds of new things and form new interests.
Staged Activity Badges
Staged activity badges are available to young people from Squirrels to Explorers, and cover a range of topics and skills. The stages have increasing levels of difficulty, and a Squirrel can begin at whichever stage offers them an appropriate level of challenge.
Challenge Awards
Achieving a challenge award involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the drey or community. These awards support the main themes of the programme, outdoor, adventure, world and skills. Squirrels take part in a range of activities to develop their skills and understanding in each of the challenge areas.
Core Badges
In addition, there are a number of core badges, obtained upon joining or moving on from the drey, or for time spent in the scouting movement.
