Beaver Tail Levels

Age before Jan. 1st Tail Levels (September – May)
5 Years – Kindergarten Discovery & Growing (Brown)

BROWN represents the colour of the beaver’s fur, also the earth, on which we live and in which things grow. It can remind the Beavers of their responsibility to help take care of the world. It can also be seen as the time of discovery, when the Beaver is entering a new phase in life and exploring a broader world beyond the confines of family and close friends.

6 Years - Grade 1 Building & Exploring (Blue)

BLUE represents the sky and water and symbolizes the immense opportunities to explore now opened to the Beaver, whose abilities are expanding and changing.

7 Years - Grade 2 Busy Beaver (White)

WHITE links Eager Beavers to Tender Pads (Cubs). It is the colour of the moon and stars, which give us light to help us find our way through the darkness of the night and symbolizes distant goals, seemingly far away, but attainable.
