4th Derby Derwent Scout Squirrels 🐿️
Looking for a fun, friendly place where your child can explore, play, and grow in confidence? 4th Derby Derwent Scout Squirrels is the perfect place for young adventurers aged 4–6.
Our Squirrels sessions are packed with games, crafts, stories, outdoor activities, and simple adventures, all designed to spark curiosity and build important life skills. Through play, children learn how to work together, try new things, and take their first steps into the wider world of Scouting.
We focus on:
🌳 Outdoor fun and exploration
🎨 Creative activities and messy play
🤝 Friendship, teamwork, and confidence
⭐ Earning badges and celebrating achievements
Led by trained volunteers in a safe, supportive environment, Squirrels is a great way for children to gain independence while having loads of fun along the way.
Whether your child is full of energy, loves being creative, or just enjoys making new friends, there’s a place for them at 4th Derby Derwent Scout Squirrels.
