Life as a Cub Scout is fun, adventurous and rewarding.

As a Cub Scout, your child will  join their Cub Pack on exciting adventures, discovering hidden talents and exploring the world around them.

Cubs is the second section of the Scouting Movement for 8 to 10 1/2 year olds. In this section, excitement and adventure are key. The Cub Scout Programme offers Cub Scouts a huge variety of activities, indoors and outdoors, allowing them to be creative and get involved in their local communities.

After a few weeks, your child will be ‘invested’. This is when they promise to do their best and help others.

Earn badges, get active and embrace the challenge.

We believe that young people learn by doing, so our Cub Scout Programme is packed full of amazing activities to engage and challenge Cub Scouts of all abilities.

You can expect your child to get involved in:

  • camps
  • water activities
  • nature walks
  • cooking
  • crafts
  • sports
  • and many more…

As a Cub Scout, your child will learn a variety of character-building skills including:

  • leadership
  • teamwork
  • problem solving
  • communication
  • and responsibility.
