Meeting time and place: The 4th Winnipeg Beavers meet on Tuesday from 6:45 to 8pm in the John Tyler Hall at 27 Overton Street (Glenwood Community Center)

Beavers is a fun program designed to meet the interests of boys and girls 5, 6 and 7 years old. This simple flexible program is based upon the theme of Beavers and the Beaver Colony. It focuses on sharing and learning in a group situation in harmony with nature. Individual competition and structured achievement are not part of the program.

Beaver colours are brown and blue; brown to symbolize the earth and the beaver's fur coat; blue to symbolize the clear sky and fresh, sparkling water. The Beaver program is based on the story "Friends of the Forest", which describes the Jones family and their adventures. Scouting's Aim is expressed in the Beaver promise, law and motto.

THE BEAVER PROMISE

I promise to love God and to help take care of the world.

THE BEAVER LAW

A Beaver has fun, works hard and helps his family and friends.

THE BEAVER MOTTO

Sharing, sharing, sharing.

When a youth puts on a Beaver uniform and comes to the Pond, the name of the meeting place, he enters a special world for young people. Normally, meetings are held once a week for about an hour and a half, usually in the early evening, or on weekends. At a Beaver meeting the youth enjoy active and quiet games, stories, creative crafts, singing and opening and closing ceremonies. About once a month, they may have a special program; a hike, party, visit, picnic or special celebration.
