Cubs are boys and girls aged 8 to 10½ years and meet on Tuesday Evenings 6:30 to 8:00 pm.
Introduction to Cubs
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.
Structure
Our Cub Pack is organised into small groups called Sixes, each headed up by an older Cub called a Sixer, and with a Seconder as well. Sixes are used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Cub Scout Pack. They provide a ‘home’ area for Cub Scouts to gather at the start, during or at the end of the Pack meeting.
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.
The Cub Scout Promise
There are a number of variations of the Cub Scout Promise to reflect the range of faiths, beliefs and attitudes, and nationalities, in the UK within Scouting:
For Hindus and Buddhists
I promise that I will do my best
to do my duty to my Dharma
and to the Queen,
to help other people
and to keep the Cub Scout Law.
For Muslims
I promise that I will do my best
to do my duty to Allah
and to the Queen,
to help other people
and to keep the Cub Scout Law.
For humanists, atheists and those with no defined faith
I promise that I will do my best
to uphold our Scout values,
to do my duty to the Queen,
to help other people
and to keep the Cub Scout Law.
For Christians, Jews and Sikhs
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.
The Cub Scout Law:
Cub Scouts always do their best
Think of others before themselves
And do a good turn every day.
The Cub Scout Motto:
Be Prepared
Flag
The Cub Scout flag is yellow, bearing the Scout symbol and motto.
Uniform
Cubs may wear a dark green sweatshirt with a Group scarf (often called a necker) and a woggle in the colour of their Six.
