Beavers is the youngest group at Elsdyrstammen Spejdergruppe, a scouting group for children in 0th and 1st grade. The weekly meetings mix play, learning and time outdoors, and the children pick up basic scouting skills such as lighting a fire and packing a rucksack for trips.
The Beavers also learn to look after nature, walk marked trails of about 5 km, and spend nights both indoors and outdoors, cooking their own food. Trips into the Dyrehave forest include building dens, learning about the animals on the forest floor and listening out for red deer stags roaring.
Social skills are a big part of it too: how to help others, work together and be a good friend. Newcomers are welcome to join a session for a free trial before deciding whether to sign up.
