The Cub Pack offers a wide range of skills and services to help them to develop, learn and to enjoy themselves. We are open to any young person in the age range 8 to 10 years of age. Cubs can be recognised by their dark green sweatshirt tops. There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting, which could earn you a badge which you can wear on your uniform.

Cub Scouts also trips and days out, including camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.

All sections rely upon a ‘training’ scheme in the form of badges to track progress of the cubs and to provide a feeling of achievement. However, cubs is not just about badges, the ‘games’ and activities are very important to scouting, not just because they are enjoyable, but because they are also important in the young persons development.

The Cub Scout Promise

I promise that I will do my best,
to do my duty to God,
and to the Queen,
to help other people,
and to keep the Cub Scout Law.

Sixes

Scouts borrows a great deal of its structure from the Lord Baden Powell’s experience in the military. The cub section is known as a Pack, with cubs being organised into Sixes.

Each Six is made up of around 6 cubs of a range of ages and new cubs normally join a six in which they know at least one person. Each Six is led by a Sixer and may be helped by a Seconder; these are cubs who have demonstrated their competence, good behaviour and been a good example to those in the Pack.

What Cubs wear

Cub uniform consists of a green sweatshirt with your badges sewn on and a coloured scarf or ‘necker’ to represent your local group. There are lots of other optional accessories you can wear such as hats, hoodies, navy blue trousers or shorts.

You can purchase uniform from the shop at The Quarries, open Saturdays 10am to 4pm.

Here’s where to sew on those badges…
