Develop new skills. Soar to great heights. Being a Cub opens up a whole other world.

Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 1/2, who are part of the Scouting family, between Beavers and Scouts.
A Cub Scout Pack is organised into Sixes, with each Six named after a colour, with a Sixer and a Seconder in charge.
The leaders are named after characters in the Jungle Book following the involvement of Rudyard Kipling in the creation of Wolf Cubs in 1917.
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.
If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
Cub Scouts put the “Out” into Scouting when possible and go out into the local parks and woods.
We aim to provide 4 opportunities each year to have a night away experience with the rest of your Pack.
This often means you will sleep in a tent with other cubs and do loads of outdoor activities.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.
