Over the coming months, Ripley Beavers, in conjunction with the other sections of Ripley Scouts, will be taking part in activities with a view to achieving the International Friendship Award. This will involve three specific group events which have been added to the diary below, as well as other related activities.

This ambitious project will be connected with the Guildford East Explorers expedition to Nepal (for more information on this, see their website at www.eastexplorer.org.uk). More details about our plans for the award can be found in the document attached (use your member password to open).

About Ripley Beavers

The Beaver Colony at 1st Ripley is open to boys and girls between the ages of 6 to 8.

Colony meetings at 1st Ripley usually last one hour and are held on tuesdays during school term time.
Beavers is an active organisation and activities are sometimes held at weekends in addition to the weekly meetings. Members are encouraged to take part in these activities.
Each member pays a Subscription Fee at the beginning of each term (after the Christmas School Break, after the Easter School Break and after the Summer School Break).

Admissions

New Members to the Colony are admitted under the following criteria:

Boys and girls who move into the area who are already members of the Scout Association.
Boys and girls whose parents are Leaders in the Scout Group or whose parents take an active role on the Group Executive Committee.
Siblings of Beavers, Cubs or Scouts.
Boys and girls of the appropriate age, in order of date of their entry to the waiting list*, living within the Group's catchment area.
Any other boys and girls of the appropriate age, in order of date of their entry to the waiting list*, living outside of the Group's catchment area.

Please read our family involvement policy before applying for a place.

*Please be aware that we currently have a substantial waiting list and as a result we unfortunately have to apply the above criteria very strictly. If you are thinking about joining our waiting list, you may first wish to make enquiries with other nearby groups in the Guildford East or Woking areas.
