1st Brussels Squirrel Scout Drey

Squirrels

Squirrels - 4 to 6 years

We’re starting a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed.

Our first Squirrel Drey opened In April 2022, we have been growing and learning what works with our Squirrels, many of whom are bilingual. 

We are now over a year old and some of the original Squirrels and helpers have moved to Beavers!

It is very important that Squirrels understand sufficient English, as otherwise they really don't enjoy the stories, games and other activities.

We have a lot of young people waiting for a space and are hoping to start a second drey on Wednesday evenings, but that means we need some extra adult volunteers to form a team,  if interested do let us know. Without adults we cannot open.

We accept a few  young people each term and often new adults.  We normally try to make an offer within 1 year of joining the list. It is worth registering your interest in joining, as not everyone on our list takes up a space when offered.  

If your child is approaching 6 years old, time on the list helps towards joining Beavers too.

So  they had a fun time building very strong houses from Duplo. The  'wolves' huffed and they puffed, but they couldn't blow the houses down...

Welcome to our new website. 

We’ll be using the website to promote ourselves, recruit members and leaders, advertise events, keep you informed of our news and display our photo albums. Keep visiting the website to stay up to date.

The site isn't finished yet... over the summer we'll be adding more material, so by the time we restart in September it should be ready to go!

We hope you like it..
