Cubs

Cub Scouts take part in a wide range of activities to help them grow and develop as people, as well as having lots of fun along the way. Our cub pack meets weekly to try new experiences, develop life-skills like teamwork and leadership, and generally hang out with a new set of friends.

Our Cubs section is for young people aged 8 to 10½ who want to:

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

Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!

Cub leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Pack week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.
