Squirrels is the newest and youngest section of the Scouting family. Each Squirrel group is called a squirrel drey. Squirrels is the first section of Scouting which caters for 4-6 years old. After Squirrels there is Beavers, Cubs and then Scouts. All of these have a section in the 6th Exeter (St. Thomas) Scout Group.

Because Squirrels is aimed at such a young age, activities on offer are very fun and focused on preparing young people for Beavers and further Scouting. Squirrels may do some activities such as games, blindfold trails and much more!

Squirrels is just a great experience for all youngsters and great for making friends.

Subscriptions

Subs are paid to the section regularly at £40 a term (3 terms a year). These subs are for activities within your child’s section and insurance. Details on how to pay this is below.

Gift Aid

The Scout Group runs a Gift Aid scheme, whereby the group can claim back from the Government the tax paid on subs. This is purely voluntary and at least one parent must be paying an amount of income tax or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax we reclaim on the payments.

Please see the Gift Aid declaration form and if you have any queries with this please contact the Groups Gift Aid coordinator or a leader.
