Cubs are young people aged between 8 and 10½, who make up the second section of the Scouting family, between Beavers and Scouts. Wednesday 6.30pm - 8pm
Activities
During their time in the Pack, Cubs will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting.
There are a range of badges available which Cubs can wear on their uniforms to show everyone how well they're doing.
Cubs also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes they will be able to go camping with the rest of the Pack and take part in all kinds of outdoor activities.
Structure and organisation
A Pack of Cubs is organised into Sixes, with each Six named after a colour, and a Sixer and a Seconder in charge.
There is a range of badges and awards available to young people in the Cub Scout Section.
Activity badges
Many of the badges available are activity badges, which allow Cub Scouts to show their progress in existing pursuits, but also to try all kinds of new things and form new interests.
Challenge badges
Gaining a challenge badge involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the Pack or community. There are several challenge badges across a number of themes, from the physical and outdoorsy to challenges dealing with the local community or issues connected with the Scouting world.
Core badges
In addition, there are a number of core badges, obtained upon joining or moving on from the Pack, or for time spent in the Scouting movement.
Activity packs
Some activity badges are sponsored by outside companies, and these companies often provide extra exciting resource packs to help Cub Scouts towards gaining their badges.
