WNB: Wednesday Night Beavers

Beavers · Wednesdays · 6:30–7:30 pm · Ages 6–8 · Den in Ballinteer, Dublin 16

Welcome to WNB

Wednesday Night Beavers is one of two Beaver colonies at 115th Ballinteer, with 24 young members aged 6–8.

Beavers is where scouting begins. Wednesday nights are about making friends, trying new things and building confidence in a safe, welcoming setting. From hikes in the Dublin Mountains to parties, badge work and outdoor activities, there's always something on.

Leaders

WNB is led by Nicola (Section Leader), Laura, Conor and Rory. For any questions, speak to a leader at drop-off or collection, or see group contact.

What we get up to

A typical Wednesday evening includes a roll call, a game, badge work, another game and a short activity — crafts, cooking or something outdoors. Here's a flavour of what WNB has done recently:

  • Hellfire Club and Three Rock hikes
  • Christmas and Halloween parties at the den
  • Garda station visit
  • Den sleepover
  • Investiture ceremony (welcoming new Beavers)

Badge work has included Hillwalking, Backwoods, Emergency and Camping badges. Coming up: Marlay Park walks and evening hikes.

Uniform and what to bring

Beavers wear the Scouting Ireland Beaver jumper (turquoise) with the 115th Ballinteer necker and woggle. See the uniform guide for links to buy, and ask about the uniform recycling scheme for second-hand items. Bring a water bottle every week.
