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

The Origins of Beaver Scouts

Beaver Scouts, often shortened to Beavers, was officially launched in 1986 following a two-year pilot programme, and in the true spirit of an inclusive organisation, even younger children got to experience Scouts for the first time.

Who are Beavers? 

Beaver Scouts, or Beavers, are the second section of the Scouting family, coming after Squirrels and before Cubs. Beavers is designed for young people aged 6 to 8 years old and offer the chance to try new activities, have fun, go on adventures, and make new friends while learning about the world around them.
