1st Topcliffe Scout Group
Squirrels is the first and youngest section of our Scouting Family. First opened in September 2021; we are currently the only Drey in Ripon and District.
​
Easily recognised by their bright red sweatshirts, Squirrels enjoy making friends, hearing stories, playing games, learning skills and going on adventures.
​
Young people can join Squirrels from their 4th birthday; and can then move up to Beavers when they are 6 years old.
​
Our Squirrel Drey meets on Tuesdays, 5pm-6pm in Topcliffe and Asenby Village Hall.
A group of Squirrrels is called a Drey.
​
When you join Squirrels, you make a Promise. The Promise for Squirrels is:
​
'I promise to do my best, to be kind and helpful, and to love God'*
​
Squirrels work towards the Chief Scout Acorn Award. This is made up of 4 Challenges and a minimum of 2 activity badges. The Challenge awards for Squirrels are: All About Me Challenge, All Adventure Challenge, All Around Us Challenge and All Together Challenge.
