Squirrels

4 - 6 years old

Squirrels is The Scouts newest section for 4–5 year olds. There are plenty of reasons to get stuck in, as Squirrels gives young people the chance to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it’s most needed.

Squirrels can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way. The one-hour sessions will be a brilliant opportunity for young people to take their first step into being part of Scouts, and they’ll help everyone get ready for the adventure of school too. Sessions will be packed with outdoors activities, fun, games, badges, laughter, and so much more to help our youngest members learn the skills they need for life. Of course, none of it would be possible without the support of the amazing leaders who plan and deliver such an inspiring programme.

Squirrels Uniform

What to wear

Squirrels uniform consists of a red sweatshirt with your badges sewn on and a coloured scarf or ‘necker’ to represent your local group.

There are lots of other optional accessories you can wear such as hats, hoodies, navy blue trousers or shorts, if you’d like to.

Wearing a uniform is comfy and practical. It means you can run around and get messy without ruining your other clothes. It makes you feel part of a team. It means no one feels uncomfortable or left out. And it gives you a place to show off all the brilliant badges you earn.

Badge positions

Over time, Squirrels will earn a number of different badges.
