Awards and Badges


While with the Colony, Beavers have the opportunity to gain awards and badges. These awards are given in recognition of the effort made by each child at their own level of development and understanding.

Some of these Awards and badges are worked for as part of a group activity and others are gained as individuals.

The Beaver Scout Promise

I promise to do my best

To be kind and helpful

And to love God.


The Beaver Scout Motto

Be Prepared


Beavers are usually invested after four weeks in the Colony. When they are invested, they make their Promise and can then proudly wear the 52nd Reading Group's scarlet necker. They are also awarded the World Membership Badge, The Royal County of Berkshire, Reading Central District and 52nd Reading Scout Group badges.


Joining In Awards
The Joining In Awards recognise a commitment to Scouting. They celebrate a beaver's participation in a balanced
programme of Scouting activities throughout the time the young person has been a Member of the Scout Movement.
In the Colony, up to two Joining In Awards can be earned and they are presented each year on the anniversary of the Beaver joining the Group.


52nd Reading Beavers Millenium Trophy

In the year 2000 we introduced the 52nd Reading Beaver Millenium Trophy to our group. The trophy is awarded at the end of each term to the Beaver that is felt to have achieved and improved the most, who has worked hard and behaved well and courteously to others.


52nd Reading Lodge Prizes

Every term a prize is awarded to the one of the Lodges. This is usually the lodge that has worked well together, collecting and achieving points for the lodge (and not loosing too many along the way).
