Beavers
Taking boys and girls from the age of 6, these small people enjoy laughs and giggles as their knowledge expands. 1st Kettering Scouts Group arrange sleep overs and additionally spend time on the water rafting.

Whilst the younger sections have tasters in activities, scouts take it to the next stage, weeks away camping, walking in the hills, finding ways to do water activities even soaring in the sky, with 1st Kettering Scout Group, the fun continues…
