Bæverne, the youngest group in Elsdyrstammen Spejdergruppe, is a weekly scouting session for children in 0th and 1st grade. The children learn basic scouting skills such as lighting a fire and packing rucksacks for trips, along with how to look after nature and walk a 5 km marked route.
The programme mixes play, learning and time outdoors. There are overnight stays both indoors and outdoors, cooking, and trips into the forest to build dens and learn about the animals of the forest floor. In Dyrehaven the group learns about the wildlife there and goes out to hear red deer stags roar. A big part of the time is spent on social skills: how to help others, how to work together and how to be a good friend.
Newcomers are welcome to join a session to try it out before deciding whether to sign up, and a free trial session can be booked.
