Overview
of Beavers The Beaver
program emphasizes having fun while encouraging children to feel
good about themselves, their friends and family, God, and nature.
Beavers helps children learn basic social skills and gain self
confidence. The Beaver program promotes activities that encourage
children to:
 |
find examples of their own
spiritual beliefs, |
|
experience and express love and
joy, |
|
be healthy and have good feelings
about themselves, |
|
develop a sense of belonging and
sharing in small group activities, |
|
develop a sense of cooperation
through non-competitive activities. |
The Beaver program is built around
a lively variety of games, crafts, music, storytelling,
playacting, spiritual fellowship and the outdoors. Beaver
activities stress cooperation and teamwork, and can involve the
whole family.
The outdoors is an essential part of the Beaver program. Weekend
events, picnics, short nature hikes and family based camping
opportunities round out the Beaver experience.
Beavers meet in a group called a colony. The colony is split into
smaller groups called lodges. There is one leader for every five
Beavers. Each Beaver learns a promise, law and motto to help guide
their personal development.
