Being a Squirrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Squirrel Scouts are a brand new branch to the Scouts family tree. It\u2019s an introduction to new people, the world around them and things they can try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re open to all young people aged between 4 and 6. We\u2019re at the start of our journey on Thursday evenings 5:15pm till 6:15pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every week for one hour during term time our Squirrels meet up to learn new skills and have amazing fun tailored to them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities and what you\u2019ll get up to<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get an introduction to indoor and outdoor activities, have the opportunity to be creative, tell stories and play games. Become a Superhero, a Superchef or a Brilliant Builder! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investiture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a few visits to meetings your child will hopefully want to keep coming. If this is the case, your child will then be invested into Scouting in a short ceremony at the end of a meeting. It is at this point you will need to buy your child the Squirrel jumper at the Eastleigh Scout Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At their Investiture, your child will be asked to recite the Squirrel Scout promise and then they will be given their Neckerchief, and their uniform badges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Squirrel Uniform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Squirrels uniform consists of a red sweatshirt with your badges sewn on and a gold coloured necker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Badges and Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Become an expert in something you love or try something shiny and new. From athletics and astronomy to photography and pioneering, there\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering where these all go on the uniform then click on the image to see the positions for the different types of badges. Some of these badges will continue to be on the uniform when moving on to Beavers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More information about the badges available can be found on the Scout Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
