Scouts HQ has started opening a new provision for 4 – 6 year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it’s most needed.
We don’t have any Squirrels sections in Altrincham yet, but we’re gathering interest to launch one soon.
Starting Squirrels in our area depends on the support of adult volunteers. If you’re able to help make this happen, whether as a regular volunteer or occasional helper, let us know on the form. Full support and training provided.
If you’d like to register your interest, and your child’s, for Squirrels, please fill in the form below.

Beaver Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Moving up to Beavers
Eventually, it’ll be time to say goodbye to Squirrels and explore your next big adventure with Beavers.
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Squirrel Volunteers
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the section week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
