Cubs

Master new skills, have adventures

For Cubs, excitement and adventure are key. Their programme offers a huge variety of activities surrounding areas of fitness, global and beliefs; whilst allowing them to be creative and get involved in their local communities. Cubs are introduced to exciting outdoor skills and take part in adventurous activities, as well as camps and residential experiences.

The Cub Pack is the second section of our Scout Group following on from Beavers. Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 ½.

Programme

Structure

The Cub Pack is organised into small groups called Sixes, each headed up by an older Cub called a Sixer, with a Seconder as well. Sixes are used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Cub Scout Pack.

Activities

During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on camps. Participation and personal development, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cub Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Cubs wear a dark green sweatshirt with a Group scarf (often called a ‘necker’) and a woggle in the colour of their Six. The expectation is that for most evenings Cubs will wear smart trousers and smart shoes.

Cub leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe and open to all. Some lead the Pack week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
