Otters

ages 5 - 7

The Otters are the youngest formal section in our program, for children approximately 5-7 years old (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.

Otters:

  • are curious

  • playful

  • learn to walk / hike in the woods

  • recognize common plants

  • begin fire building skills

  • build structures and crafts

  • camp with their family, leaders and fellow scouts

The Otter Program involves caregiver supervision and participation.

All children develop and grow in unique and individualized ways. 91st Sojourners recognizes this, as a result the ages associated with each section are a guide and not a formal requirement.
