What is Cub Scouting?

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 also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.

Cub Scout Badges

Quote from a Cub Scout

The best part of Scouting is definitely the camps. I love every activity we do apart from swimming. They told us the pool was 24 degrees centigrade. Minus 24 more like!

Cubs age from 8 years are just beginning to 'feel their feet' and are looking for fun and new experiences. They are challenged in various ways with badges and awards.

As they get older there may be the opportunity to lead their own “six” mostly by example and encouragement. Many of the badges are concerned with modern subjects like communication but scouting has not forgotten the importance of basic skills of yesterday and the value and protection of our environment.
