Scouts' Triple Birthday Year

Join Scouts in celebrating five years of Squirrels, 40 years of Beavers and 110 years of Cubs since they rolled out across the UK.

That’s over 250,000 young people and volunteers all celebrating, making it one of the biggest birthdays ever.

2026 is a big birthday year. In fact, it’s a triple birthday year!

As part of our birthday celebrations, we’ve created a digital “party bag” for volunteers. It includes games, activities, and party ideas to help them celebrate.

To access the resource, volunteers simply need to complete a short form. Birthday Celebrations – Fill out form

Who are Beavers? Beaver Scouts are young people, aged 6 to 8, who:

• Master new skills and try new things
• Have fun and go on adventures
• Make friends
• Are curious about the world around them
• Help others and make a difference, on their own doorsteps and beyond

Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
