Who Are Cubs Scouts?

Cubs are young people aged 8 to 10 1⁄2 who:

• Master new skills and try new things.
• Have fun and go on adventures.
• Make friends.
• Are curious about the world around them.
• Help others and make a difference, in their own communities and beyond.

Every week, they gather in groups called a Cub Packs to take part in lots of interesting and challenging activities – achieving anything they set their minds to and having lots of fun along the way.

They are the third section in the Scouting family. Young people can join Cub Scouts in the three months leading up to their eighth birthday. They move up to the next section, Scouts, at 10 1/2 years old.

Cubs will enjoy a full programme at their Pack meetings and get the chance to participate in loads of fun activities. They will get the opportunity to try lots of different fun activities such as hiking, exploring and camping and go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or sports venues.

They will also have the opportunity to work towards badges, including the highest award in Cubs, the Chief Scout Silver Award.

Cubs will have the opportunity to go camping giving them the chance to experience a range of outdoor activities and to develop valuable Scouting skills.

There are a range of badges and awards available to young people in the Cub Scout Section…
