Beaver Scout Colony Code One of the ways we can help have a great, friendly, and kind Beaver Scouts Colony is by making a code we can all follow. The best way to do this is a for all the Beaver Scouts help form a new code every year.

Here are some tips on going about writing a new code: • Keep it short and simple • Use images and short sentences • Base it on the Beaver Scout Promise and Law • Involve everyone • Keep it positive

Plan: • Print out copies of the Beaver Scout promise and law • Gather large pieces of paper and colouring pencils • Scouters and the Lodge Leaders agree a plan

Do: • In lodges, Beaver Scouts, with the help of Scouters, should discuss the Colony Code. The Beaver Scout promise and law can be the foundation for your ideas.

• It may help to think about grouping your thoughts into ‘What We Do’ and ‘What We Don’t Do’.

• Think about how you can use pictures and images, and practical examples.

• Scouters can gather all the ideas with the Lodge Leaders to make one code for all the Colony.

• Make a bright and colourful copy of the code to be displayed on in your meeting space.

Review: • Discuss the Code (with examples) so that everybody understands how they can follow the code.

• Refer to the code regularly.

• Make sure that new Beaver Scouts and Scouters understand the code.
