Cubs (8 to 10): Learn new skills and have adventures

Cubs is really popular so we have a waiting list to join. We need new volunteers to help us increase the number of places. If you can join us a regular volunteer, as our thank you, your child can join straight away. 

Cubs are a group of young people who:

• Learn new skills and try new things
• Have adventures outdoors
• Make new friends and have fun
• Help others and think about the world around them

Cubs is the second step in the Scouting journey for young people. Cub Packs of 20 -25 young people meet every week led by trained adult volunteers. We have two mixed Packs, Tiw Cubs meet on a Tuesday at 6.45pm and Woden Cubs meet on Wednesday at 6.45pm. You can indicate a preference or no preference when you make an enquiry.

Around six Cubs form groups, called sixes, and work together on activities and games learning new skills and having fun. Each six is led by a Sixer who are older Cubs who are chosen to take on leadership responsibilities, such as welcoming new people to the Pack, being extra helpful on camp, or taking charge of a particular game or activity.

Cubs learn hands on doing things like how to cook a simple meal or how to give someone basic first aid. The most important skills they’ll start to learn are character skills encouraging independence, integrity, and initiative, and courage to try new things. Cubs go camping, ice skating, climbing, adventure coursing, grass sledging, cycling, have camp fires and play lots of games too. They work also towards lots of fun challenge and activity badges. Cubs really is for everyone, boys and girls, regardless of ability, disability, race, religion, background or income
