Beaver Scouts Act and Mime

Beaver Scouts enjoy play acting, pretending and dressing up. Offering acting and miming in the programme has a variety of purposes:

• To develop creative abilities;


• To increase confidence and self-esteem;


• To help a Beaver Scout learn something;


• To have fun with friends.

Over a period of time, a good Beaver Scout Colony will offer Beavers the opportunity to:

• To take part in a variety of acting and miming;


• Use costumes, hats and props;


• Use a variety of puppets;


• Watch or take part in Scout entertainment.
