Beaver Uniform
There is a range of badges and awards available to young people in the Beaver Section. At Cradley we try to make it possible for beavers to gain as many baddges and awards as they can!
Activity Badges
Many of the badges available are activity badges, which allow Beaver Scouts 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 Beavers to Explorers, and cover a range of topics and skills. The stages have increasing levels of difficulty, and a Beaver 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 Colony or community.
These Awards support the main themes of the Programme; outdoor and adventure; world and skills. Beavers 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 Colony, or for time spent in the Scouting movement.
Activity packs
Some activity badges are sponsored by outside companies, and these companies often provide resources to support Beaver Scouts towards gaining their badges.
Note for clarity, the badges on the Right sleeve are:
Top Most name tape: Colony/Pack/Troop Name, i.e. Wolf
Second name tape: Group name tape, i.e. 2nd Cradley (St Peters)
(Left (facing the front of the shirt)) District badge, i.e. Halesowen
(Right (facing the front of the shirt)) Country badge, i.e. West Mercia
At 2nd Cradley we like to look smart and presentable. We insist that all members wear the minimum of The Scout Association Beaver Jumper and 2nd Cradley Scout Group Neckerchief/Scarf (Can be obtained when invested)
There are other items of uniform available that we recommend such as The Scout Association trousers. They made from very good material and have the scout logo on them. They are smart and useful when we parade, Any other black trousers and shoes are expected for parades
