Cub Scouts – Prepare to become a Cub Scout

Thursdays 7.00pm to 8.30pm
Cub Scouts is about Creating the Path!
Cub Scouts is for young people aged 8 to 11 years, and focuses on exploring the outdoors, discovery and learning interesting things! Cub Scouts belong to a Unit and begin to learn leadership and teamwork in small teams called Patrols.
If you enjoy fun, games and learning new skills then you’ll love being a Cub Scout! You’ll get to go on camps with your Unit, and you might attend a Cuboree camp with hundreds of other Cub Scouts! As well as learning things like how to use a compass, you’ll go on bushwalks, bike trips, and have the chance to do things like sailing, canoeing, abseiling and sometimes even flying!
Your Cub Scout Leader will help you along the way and encourage you to take part. You’ll learn life-long skills, make friends and have fun! Cub Scouts are keen to learn, belong, and have fun, so our activities are designed to stimulate their emotional and adventurous spirits.
A Cub Scout Journey
Cub Scouts is all about making friends, trying new things and developing confidence in a supportive and inclusive environment.
We offer a diverse range of activities including:
- Outdoor adventures: From bushwalks and overnight camps to exploring local parks and beaches, we love getting out and connecting with nature.
- Creative activities: We encourage creativity through crafts and games.
- Skill development: We learn practical skills like first aid, knot tying, cooking and teamwork, which are not only useful but also build resiliance and self-reliance.
- Community involvement: We participate in community service events projects, learning the importance of giving back and making a difference.
The Cub Scout journey is more than just a collection of activities, it is a journey of self-discovery, growth and fun.
It is a chance for young people to develop their potential, learn valuable skills and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Each stage has a set of activities and challenges that a Cub Scout completes, encouraging them to grow and learn at their own pace. As they progress through the stages they earn badges to reflect their achievements.
