Cubs

Cub Scouts are 8 to 10½ years old.

We have two Cub packs, Nelson and Drake.

In the UK there are approximately 130,000 Cub Scouts. A Cub Scout Pack is split into smaller groups called Sixes. Each Six can have a Cub Scout in charge of it called the Sixer.

A weekly Cub Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors. Cub Scouts are able to go to Cub Scout camps or indoor Pack residentials and enjoy a variety of expeditions.

Uniform

Cubs wear a dark green sweatshirt with a Group scarf and a woggle in the colour of their Six.

There are also Cubs polo shirts are available for summer activity.

All of these may be purchased from the Scout Store.
