LODGES

Beaver Scouts gather in Lodges, which are small groups of six to eight Beaver Scouts of various ages. Each Lodge is made up of a mixture of White Tails, Blue Tails and Brown Tails (first, second and third-year Beaver Scouts), as well as a mixture of those who are experienced Beaver Scouts and those who are new to Beaver Scouting. Each Lodge decides its own name and symbol.

• Several Lodges come together to form a Colony.
• The place where the Colony meets is called a Pond.
• Children who participate in the Colony are known as Beaver Scouts.
• Volunteers are known as Scouters and are given Friends of the Forest names.
• Sometimes the Colony divides into Tail Groups. A Tail Group is made up of youth from the same age or grade.
• Kindergarten Beaver Scouts are Brown Tails (age 5 by Dec. 31st).
• Grade One Beaver Scouts are Blue Tails.
• Grade Two Beaver Scouts are White Tails.
