Beavers are young people aged 6 to 8 who:

  • Master new skills and try new things
  • Have fun and go on adventures
  • Make friends
  • Are curious about the world around them
  • Help others and make a difference, in their own communities and beyond

Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colony to take part in lots of interesting and challenging activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.

The Promise is a simple way to help young people and adults keep the Fundamentals of Scouting in mind. The Promise is the commitment made by all Members as they join Scouting, promising to share the values of Scouting. It is therefore vital that every Member considers the Promise, and discusses its meaning before making the Promise and being invested into Scouting.

There are a number of variations of the Promise to reflect the range of faiths, beliefs and attitudes; and nationalities in the UK within Scouting. Each version is written to be appropriate to the broad level of understanding of each of the age groups within the Movement. We believe that this approach is inclusive. Celebrating and understanding difference, including difference in faiths and beliefs, is an important aspect of the educational and developmental side of Scouting.

The Beaver Scout Promise for members who are Humanist, Atheist or of no faith background

I promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and to love our world.

The Beaver Scout Promise for members who are Buddhist or Hindu

I promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and to love my Dharma.

The Beaver Scout Promise for members who are Christian, Jewish or Sikh

I promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and to love God.

The Beaver Scout Promise for members who are Muslim

I promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and to love Allah.
