Beaver Scouts (Scouting Ireland)

Beaver scouts should be given a say in what is happening in the programme. This is done through review games and at Lodge gatherings (called Log Chews). Log Chew’s should be led by the Scouter but they exist so as to get the opinions of the Beaver Scouts and to take account of these opinions when making decisions for the future. A Beaver Scout Lodge does not have a permanent leader. Every member should be given the change of leading the Lodge at some time. Individual Beaver Scouts should be given responsibility for minor jobs, such as setting up for activities and tidying up afterwards, so as to build on their ability to take on such jobs Every Beaver Scout should have a job within the Lodge, for example minding equipment, putting notices on the board, etc. Scouters should ensure that each Beaver Scout is given the chance to take on additional responsibility as they develop.
