Uniform
When your child has been coming to Beavers for two or three weeks they may wear the turquoise Beaver Scout uniform sweatshirt which can be bought online (www.scoutshops.com) or from certain school uniform shops.

We will present the group neckerchief to your child once they have completed their training for the Beaver Scout Membership Badge and are ready to be invested as a member of the Scout Association.

Please ensure all uniform is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Monthly subscriptions
Payment of subs is standardised across all sections (Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts).
Subscriptions are £10.00 per month, collected on the first Friday of every month. This covers all Friday evening activities, hall hire and maintenance, refreshments, and any badges awarded.

Due to the closure for two weeks over Christmas please pay £2.50 for every meeting attended during December 2011.

- Anyone younger then 5 ¾ years will be placed on a waiting list until they reach the appropriate age.
