Cheshire Squirrels Scouts

We’re starting a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it’s most needed.

Everything you need to know about Squirrels

Take a sneak peak at our uniform and badges and see what we’re doing to make sure everyone is safe and included.

Benefits of joining Squirrels

Squirrels is a completely new provision for 4–5 year olds. There are plenty of reasons to get stuck in, as Squirrels gives young people the chance to:

  • Make friends
  • Have fun outdoors
  • Learn new things
  • Earn badges through fun activities
Squirrels Dreys are open in many of our Districts, but as they’re still new we may not have one open in your community just yet, but you can still register your interest in volunteering with Squirrels now.

 

Will you be our next Squirrels volunteer?

Volunteering’s not just about giving back – the benefits go both ways. All of our activities are run by amazing volunteers. Volunteering lets you try new things, meet new people, and make a difference. We know that volunteering is #GoodForYou because when you volunteer, you’ll:

  • Do something good for your community and yourself
  • Gain skills for the future
  • Spend time with your children or gain experience with young people
  • Make friends
  • Make memories

Volunteering will keep your body and brain active as you make a huge difference to young people’s lives – helping them develop skills for life and learn a whole lot about themselves along the way.

It doesn’t matter if you want to get involved regularly or help out occasionally – we can find the right fit for you.

#OutdoorIn24

Get outside. Be active. Connect with nature. 

 

Outdoor in 24 is encouraging Scout sections, from Squirrels to Network, to get outside throughout 2024.

In completing your challenges you can buy the blanket badge from the store!


Squirrels Activities

As the programme grows, we’ll have hundreds of activities for 4 and 5 year olds. There are already plenty of fun Squirrels activities within our activity finder, if you’re looking for something to keep young people occupied. Check out the activities and be inspired to give something new a go.
