About Cubs

Positive Development! The Cub Scout program is specifically designed to meet the developmental needs of 8 to 11 year old children. It provides opportunities for young people to develop and grow as individuals and as members of a team. Cub Scout activities are planned to cover a broad range of interests and topics to trigger their imagination and curiosity.

As a member of a ‘Six’ you and your Pack will work together to explore the world. Your Cub Scout Leader will help you along the way and encourage you to participate in Scouting activities. You’ll learn life-long skills, participate in the Cub Scout’s Award Scheme, earn badges, make friends and have fun!

Going on Outings and Nature Trails
Orienteer and learn to read maps and compasses
Short Camping Trips
Sporting activities
