The Beaver Law:
Beavers have fun, work hard, and help their families and friends.
The Beaver Motto:
Sharing, Sharing, Sharing
The Beaver Promise:
I promise to love God and to help take
care of the world.
Investing
Beavers:
Beavers need to have a good understanding
of their Law, Motto and Promise in order to be invested as an Eager Beaver.
When a Beaver is invested, they will receive their Colony necker.
Joining Beavers:
When Beavers join the Colony, they join as Kits. Once they are
invested, they become Eager Beavers.
There are three tails within the Colony, Brown, Blue and White.
White Tails are our Senior Beavers. At the end of the year, White Tail Beavers
Swim-up to become Tender Pads. At this point, they should no longer wear
their Beaver uniform and they will be invited to attend some appropriate
Cub meetings.
Our Pond:
Beavers
love the water. However, our meetings are done out of the water around
our Pond.
Our Beavers will first meet on the River Banks. By this, the Beavers
will form two lines representing river banks. Once our river banks are established,
we will build the dam. This is done by closing the ends of the
river banks furthest from our Big Beaver (Leader in Charge).
At our pond, we make use of Keeos. A Keeo is a very special Cub who will join the Beaver Colony. Keeos help prepare Beavers for their swim-up to Cubs.
Hands Up!
Whenever
Leaders put their hands up, all Beavers need to STOP what they are doing
and put their hands
up too. By having all
Beavers cooperate quickly, we can proceed with the program. If Beavers are
noisy and not paying attention, they will miss out of a lot of fun!
