Scouts Canada developed the Beaver Scouts program goals to correspond with early childhood education and development guidelines.
The Beaver Scouts Program places emphasis on activities which encourage Beaver Scouts to:
-
find examples of God's love for them and the world
-
experience and express love and joy
-
be healthy and have good feelings about themselves
-
develop a sense of belonging and sharing in small group activities
-
develop a sense of co-operation through non-competitive activities
-
appreciate nature
-
To help Beaver Scouts realize these goals, the program uses seven elements: Games, Crafts, Storytelling, Music, Play Acting, Outdoors and Spiritual Fellowship. The Beaver Scouts program, through the seven elements, results in many positive Outcomes for members. Children across Canada participate in the Beaver Scouts program.
There is a Beaver Scout Law, Promise and Motto that is intended to be used regularly in the colony, designed to appeal and have meaning to Beaver Scouts.
