Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need somewhere to put them!

As a group we are proud of the uniform we wear and encourage all Scouts to wear their uniform shirt every week.

A neckerchief is provided free of charge upon investiture.

Squirrel leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Drey week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.

If you would like to join our fantastic group of leaders, and volunteer flexibly to suit your circumstances, find out more on the link below.

Moving up to Beavers

Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Squirrels and embrace your next big adventure.

From 6 years old we guarantee an automatic space to move up to our Beaver Scout section which meets in the same building on a Monday night, immediately following Squirrels.
