The third section in the Scouting family, for young people aged 8 –  10 ½ years old.

In the world of Cubs, excitement and adventure take centre stage. The program is a dynamic blend of activities that span the realms of fitness, global awareness, and beliefs. Cubs not only get to express their creativity but also actively engage with their local communities. The journey includes the thrilling introduction to outdoor skills and participation in adventurous activities, alongside the unforgettable experiences of camps and residential adventures. Cubs embark on a diverse exploration, where every activity is a step toward building skills, fostering teamwork, and creating lasting memories.

The Cub Pack stands as the next exciting chapter in the Scout Group, succeeding the Beavers. Cub Scouts are a dynamic group of young individuals. This phase marks a continuation of the Scouting journey, where Cubs look for new challenges, adventures, and opportunities for personal growth.  

Cubs learn by doing, and so will you. Some of the skills you develop will be practical, like knowing how to cook a delicious meal or give someone first aid. Whatever skills you’d like to learn, it’s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.

Going on adventures
Race down a river. Tell stories by torchlight. Fall asleep beneath the stars. Alongside your Pack, you’ll spend plenty of time in the great outdoors. Together, you might build a den in your local park, or create an edible raft out of sweets, or go on a moonlit hike through your hometown. And even though you might not be ready to climb Mount Everest just yet, you’re guaranteed to have plenty of adventures on your own doorstop, because being a Cub is all about making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.

Learning new skills
Cubs learn by doing, and so will you. Some of the skills you develop will be practical, like knowing how to cook a delicious meal or give someone first aid. Others will allow you to become a master at your chosen hobby, or help you to succeed in whichever job you decide to do when you grow up. But the most important skills you’ll learn at Cubs are the ones that will make you feel confident and happy in your own skin. We call these character skills, and they include things like integrity – which means being honest and doing what you think is right – and initiative – which means knowing how to take the lead on something without being asked. Whatever skills you’d like to learn, it’s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.

Helping others
Cubs work as a team to help other people. Together, you’ll learn about global issues and what we can all do to help solve them. You’ll also make an impact in your own community, through activities such as campaigning to save your local library, collecting donations for a food bank, or planting trees in a local park.
