Cub Scouts is the second section in Scouts. It’s for boys and girls aged 8 to 10 and is all about adventure!
If you enjoy fun, games and learning new skills then you’ll love being a Cub. As a member of a ‘Six’ you and your Pack will work together to explore the world. Your Cub Scout Leader will help you along the way and encourage you to participate in Scouting activities. You’ll learn life-long skills and participate in the Cub Scouts Award Scheme and earn badges, make friends and have fun!
Program ideas are taken from their Badge Achievement Book (Yellow Book) and from the Jungle Book. Cubs achieve badge work from the Bronze Boomerang through to the Grey Wolf Award.
In 2016, our Cub Scout numbers grew so fast we started a second Pack. Section Leader of our Monday Pack has been in Scouts since she was 7yo and understands life as a Cub Scout.
