Beaver Scouts (Scouts Canada)

Beaver Scouts is the Beavers section of Scouts Canada for children aged 5 to 7. When a Beaver graduates from the third year of the program, they become Cub Scouts.

The Scouts Canada section of Beaver Scouts was first inspired by the Beavers which began in Northern Ireland, named so in 1966. It began as an independent group in 1971, until absorbed by Scouts Canada in 1974. Scouts Canada's Beaver Scouts has, in turn, been the inspiration for many other divisions of Beavers scouts across the world.
