The Otters are the youngest official section in our program, for children aged 5-7 (grades K-2). The large group of Otters is called a Raft, and within it, Otter Dens. Otters go on adventures, learn useful outdoor and family skills, and participate in age-appropriate service to the community. They are crafting with their hands, working as a group, and camping together with their families.
The section leaders are all working together with families to provide an exciting introduction to the game of scouting for our Otters. There is a set badgework curriculum so that Otters earn badges, participate in ceremonies, and have a magic and lore that is exciting and dynamic.
The scouts will participate in:
- Monthly meetings focused on learning, crafting, and games
- Afternoon weekend outdoor activities such as hiking
- 1-2 service projects each year
- 3 camping trips
