Cub Scouts

The Cub Pack is open to children aged 8 to 11. Cub meetings are a place for Cubs to have fun and play games, learn new skills and meet new friends. Each week the Cub Scouts learn the basic skills of life such as bush craft and how to react in emergencies.

All activities and games are developed to encourage teamwork and sharing. Cubs will work their way through boomerang challenges to earn awards or gain proficiency badges for activities in the Cub Scout Record book. These activities cater for all different types of youth, ranging from Literacy badges to Bushcraft, Space, Cooking and Sports.

The major award for Cub Scouts is the Grey Wolf. The work involved to achieve this award for will further a Cubs understanding of the Scouting traditions and will take a them approximately a year to complete.

Cub Scout Packs

Cub Pack Leader names are taken from the famous Rudyard Kipling story "The Jungle Book". The Leader in charge of the pack is known as 'Akela' (The Wolf - the one who stands alone). Akela's helpers are known as 'Bagheera' (The Panther - the teacher of hunting) and `Baloo' (The Bear - the teacher of Jungle Law).

The Cub Pack is made up of smaller groups called 'Sixes'.
  • Each Six is identified by a colour and has 6 Cubs.
  • Each Six has an experienced Cub known as a 'Sixer' to lead the Six.
  • Each Six has a less experiences Cub known as a 'Second' to assist the Sixer in leading the Six.
