Cub Scouts – Adventure, Friendship and New Skills

Cub Scouts is the section for young people aged 8–10½, and it’s where adventure really starts to take shape. Across our District, Cub Packs offer exciting opportunities for young people to explore the outdoors, develop new skills and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

Cubs take part in a wide range of fun, challenging and varied activities. From outdoor games, hiking and camping to creative projects, team challenges and community involvement, Cub Scouts is all about trying new things and learning by doing. Every week brings fresh experiences that help young people grow in confidence, independence and resilience.

The Cub programme encourages young people to be curious, active and involved. Cubs work towards badges and awards that recognise their achievements, whether they’re learning practical skills, exploring nature, helping others or discovering new hobbies. Activities are designed to be engaging and inclusive, helping every Cub feel supported and valued.

Cub Scouts is also about belonging and teamwork. Cubs learn the importance of working together, respecting others and contributing to their community. Through district events, camps and adventurous activities, Cubs gain memorable experiences while developing the skills they need for the next stage of Scouting.

For families, Cub Scouts provides a positive, energetic environment where young people can have fun, make friends and grow as individuals. For our District, Cubs are a vital part of Scouting, building strong foundations for future success as they move on to Scouts.

Whether you’re looking for an exciting opportunity for your child or would like to volunteer and support a Pack, Cub Scouts is a brilliant way to get involved in adventure, learning and friendship.
