North Tawton Beavers

Beavers is the Section for boys and girls aged between 6 and 8. We meet each Wednesday during term time at the North Tawton Rugby Club - normally from 4:45 until 6:00. It is sometimes necessary to put your child's name on the waiting list until a space becomes available if we have the maximum number of Beavers in the group, but hopefully we should have a place for them within the next term.  If your child is not yet six, you may also put their name on the waiting list. We have three leaders (Karen, Lorraine and Emma), plus two Young Leaders (Rowan and Katie).

Beaver Rules

We talked to the Beavers about what rules we should have to make sure the sessions are fun for everyone. Between them they came up with the following rules: 

1. Only one person to speak at a time
2. Listen when someone is talking
3. No fighting, running, standing on tables, kicking or breaking things
4. Be gentle and considerate
5. Don’t go outside without permission 
6. Don’t mess around and be silly – it spoils it for everyone

They also wanted a 3 stage system for Beavers who don’t behave:

Green – first warning

Yellow – second warning

Red – have to miss the next week’s session

We’ve also decided to award points for good behaviour and at the end of each half term, the Beaver with the most points will receive a trophy.
