Beaver Scouts are boys and girls aged between 6 to 8 yrs.

When do Beavers meet?
Our Beavers meet Tuesdays from 6.00pm to 7.15pm during term time.

What do Beavers do?
They have fun! . . .

They also play games, meet new friends, gain badges, go on outings and visits, go outside and learn about the outdoors, create things, meet new people, listen to stories, become Cubs.

Beaver Scout activities are a combination of learning and having fun. They learn about themselves and how to look after themselves, they get to know people from their local community. They find out about life in other countries and explore through organised activities. They care by helping those around them.

The Beaver Scout programme and activities are based on Five Programme Zones, these are: Getting to Know Other People,  Learning About Yourself, Exploring the World Around Us, Discovering Creativity, Practical Skills, and Discovering Beliefs and Attitude.

It is by participating in a Balanced Programme that Beavers experience Scouting. The Balanced Programme provides opportunities for growth and development in Six personal development areas. These are: Body, Mind, Beliefs, Relationships, Community and Surroundings.

The best way to find out what Beavers get up to is to get in touch with us, and see for yourself!

The history of Whitehall Scout Group began with the 52nd Bristol (St Leonard’s) Scout Group, who operated from behind the then church hall of St Leonard’s Church  at Blackswarth Road, Redfield, and the 48th Bristol (Open) Scout Group who operated from the Old Scouts’ Hut. The 52nd and 48th Groups merged to form the new 32nd in June 1976; at the same time the 32nd also gained members from the 199th Bristol (St Ambrose) Scout Group that used to operate from premises at the junction of Whitehall Road and Stretford Road; just a short distance away from our old headquarters.

The Old Scouts’ Hut was formally opened on 24th June 1972, and was a consequence of the (then) 48th Bristol Group being relocated from their wooden building nearer the junction of Whitehall Road and Foxcroft Road.

32nd was formally closed in September 2017, and is set to open as Whitehall Scout Group in April 2019.

The New Executive Board was formed in 2018, and meets regularly to discuss the running of the group, supported by the Section Leaders, and the Group Scout Leader.

The Whitehall Scout Group is an independent charity with our own constitution and Trustees. We are an “Excepted Charity” with an exemption from registration with the Charity Commission. HM Revenue and Customs has determined that we are a charity for tax purposes in line with paragraph 1 of schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010, and have also determined that for tax purposes we are a charitable company.
Whitehall is part of the Brunel Scout District, within the Scout County of Avon.

Scouting started in 1907 and, since then, has grown to a worldwide movement with over 40 million members spread across all but a handful of counties around the world.
