Joining Beavers in Hitchin Logo
  • Beaver Scouting is very popular in Hitchin. To help manage the allocation of places, Hitchin District Scouts operate a Centralised Waiting List for Beaver places, to which most of the groups are signed up to. Some groups operate their own waiting lists and will need to be contacted directly.

    Names can be added to the Centralised Waiting List when your child reaches age 5. The form below will collect any preferences you have regarding a particular Colony, meeting night, sibling link or location. Places will be allocated as they become available to children aged 6 and above, based on length of time on the list (longest first) and any other preference that is indicated

    We would love to open another Beaver Colony to help relieve the pressure on waiting lists, but to do so need some additional volunteers to run this. If you are interested in helping or would like to know more about what is involved, please get in touch via dcs@hitchinscouts.org

    To add your child to the Centralised Waiting List please complete the form below and we will be in touch with you once a place becomes available.
