KEAS
Keas is for youth aged from 6 to 8 years of age. Our Keas meet on Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 5:15pm to 6:15pm at the St. Chads Scout Den.
Keas provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to develop their creativity, interact with nature and learn to share through co-operation and teamwork. They engage in active and quiet games, stories, creative crafts, play-acting and singing.
Keas work towards an exciting range of badges and further details of these are in our Kea Badge Book [St. Chads Kea Badge Book v4.3].

The KEA Award Scheme
The Kea Award Scheme is designed to help you plan your Scouting experiences around a variety of different activities.
While badges are fun to earn, it’s important to remember that they recognise your progression, they aren’t the goal itself. Having fun and taking part in the programme is the most important part!
