Bæverne is the youngest group in Elsdyrstammen Spejdergruppe, aimed at children in 0th and 1st grade. Each session mixes play, learning and social skills with time outdoors. The children pick up basic scouting skills such as lighting a fire and packing a rucksack for trips, and they learn to look after nature and walk a 5 km marked route.
The group also goes on sleepovers, both indoors and outdoors, cooks its own food and heads into the forest to build dens and learn about the animals on the forest floor. Trips to Dyrehaven include learning about the animals there and listening out for red deer stags roaring. A lot of time goes into friendship and cooperation: how to help others, how to work together and how to be a good friend.
