Our Scout Group has spaces in Troop Scouts (Grades 6-9).

Beavers

Beaver Scouts

Ages 5-7 (Grades K-2)

Fun and friendship are the cornerstones of the Beaver Scouts program. Beaver Scouts opens the door for youth to discover the world. It is filled with a little bit of everything – outdoor activities, games, and music. Along the way, Beaver Scouts meet new friends, learn cooperation and teamwork, and develop self-confidence.

Sharing, Sharing, Sharing

The 1st Glenayre Beaver Colony meets Tuesdays, 6:30-7:30pm, in the Glenayre Community Center at 492 Glencoe Drive in Port Moody.

1st Glenayre Cubs have an action-packed annual calendar with many camps including a drive-up Skillz camp, winter camp, overnight backpack, and canoe camp. We also take part in many 1st Glenayre Group activities like a Halloween party, Link Camp, multiple social potlucks, a family camp, and a year end BBQ.

Outdoor Adventure Skills

The Outdoor Adventure Skills program has 9 skill pathways: Camping, Trail, Paddling, Aquatic, Emergency Aid, Winter, Vertical, Sailing, and Scoutcraft. Each skill is divided into nine stages with a badge awarded for each stage. The outdoor Adventure skills are progressive from Beavers through to Rovers, youth build on skill development as they move through the different Scout "sections" (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Rovers.)

You can find out more about the Outdoor Adventure Skills here.

Parents: if you log in to your Scoutstracker account you can mark of skills your youth has completed outside of Scouts, so they get credit!

Personal Achievement Badges

Personal Achievement Badges are designed to allow youth to explore and expand skills and knowledge in areas that are of particular interest to them.

Personal Achievement Badges are strictly optional, but the cool thing is the youth decides what 3 challenges THEY want to do for their badge. The youth uses a planning template you can download here. Ideas for appropriate challenges can be found in the guide.

North Star Award

The "Top Section Award" for Beavers is the North Star Award. Beavers work towards their award with their Colony.

Requirements are:

5 Outdoor Adventure Skill stages, in any combination of skills.
5 Community Service hours
A service project completed as a group
