Every week, Squirrels will gather to grow and learn their way through lots of different games and activities

Squirrels can achieve anything they set their minds to – and they have lots of fun along the way.

The short 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.

Squirrels are four and five year old members of the Scout family.  Once they have finished at Squirrels they move up to Beavers.

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.

We have set up our first Squirrels Drey at Cookham and will expand its capacity over time.  We know there is a lot of demand for Squirrels at Cookham, and the more volunteers we have then the faster we can open up Squirrels to more young people.  If you are interested in getting involved fill in the join form on this website.  Volunteers’ children are guaranteed a place in our dreys.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
