Scouts' Triple Birthday Year

Join Scouts' in celebrating 5 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 Squirrel Scouts

Squirrel Scouts, or simply Squirrels is the newest section of Scouting in the UK, having been officially launched in 2021. Squirrel groups, known as dreys, welcome children aged between 4 and 6 in the UK. The programme focuses on helping young children to try new things, make new friends, and build early skills through fun and play-based learning.
