The Cub Pack

Cubs are young people aged 8 to 10½ 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

What to Cubs get up to?

Every week, they gather in groups called 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.

The core age range is from 8 to 10½ years. A young person may join at 7½ years and can remain in the Pack until their 11th birthday. Cub Scouts meet as a Pack and work within a variety of small groups called ‘Sixes.’ A team of adults will run the Cub Scout Pack, usually led by an Akela, some will be uniformed leaders, others maybe sectional assistants, helpers or parents.

Cubs take part in a wide range of activities that are designed to be interesting and to challenge them. At the same time, they have fun, adventure and make friends along the way. They do this through taking part in a programme of activities provided by the Leadership team such as: camping, playing games, trying new things and exploring the outdoors.

Cub Scouts work towards awards and badges. The Cub Scout Membership Award is presented to new Cub Scouts once they have learnt about the traditions and history of Scouting and about being a Cub Scout today. Activity badges are specialist interest badges that can further develop a Cub Scout’s interest. They can also form the basis for unique events, and some are geared at the whole pack working together. With hard work and regular attendance Cub Scouts can gain their Silver Award

Camps and outings are the most memorable events during the year. They are the chance to carry out activities that are not possible at the regular weekly meeting.

The Cub Scout Leader, usually Akela, has overall responsibility for the Pack and will lead the Leadership Team. It is, however, very much a team effort with everyone having something to offer.
