Gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it’s most needed
Being a Squirrel
We’re starting a new provision for four and six 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.
Who are Squirrels?
Squirrels is a completely new provision for 4–6 year olds. There are plenty of reasons to get stuck in, as Squirrels gives young people the chance to:
- Make friends
- Have fun outdoors
- Learn new things
- Earn badges through fun activities
Currently within Southern Europe only 1st Naples have a Squirrels section.
Activities and what you’ll get up to?
As the programme grows, we’ll have hundreds of activities for 4 and 6 year olds. There are already plenty of fun Squirrels activities within our activity finder, if you’re looking for something to keep young people occupied. Check out the activities and be inspired to give something new a go.

Squirrels Volunteers
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Dreys 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.
