Squirrels - 4 to 6 years
Squirrels are our young provision for four and five year olds. Squirrels will help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed
Quick Links
Squirrels are new newest and youngest members of our Scouting Family.
Squirrels offers the best of Scouts – learning by doing and getting into the great outdoors – combined with early years best practice of storytelling, routine, and play. It’s a huge leap forward for us: our first new age range in 35 years. And it is a key part of our response to the challenges facing young people.
Squirrels comes at a time when inequalities in our society are all too clear. So we’re:
-
Helping 4 and 5 year olds gain key skills like communication, teamwork and resilience through structured play and story telling.
-
Giving them a sense of achievement with great role models and a positive environment encouraging kindness and aspiration.
-
Strengthening the bond between parents or carers and their children by encouraging family volunteering
-
Creating closer, more connected communities with volunteering at the heart
