Cubs have Fun

What do they wear?

Cub Scouts wear a uniform.

Scouting is a uniformed organisation and the uniform tells everyone that you are a Cub Scout.

For instance, people can tell what Pack you belong to by looking at the colour of your scarf.

The uniform consists of:

  • Dark green long sleeved sweatshirt
  • Group Scarf
  • Blue Activity Trousers/Skirt (optional)

How do I join?

Perhaps you know a friend who is a Cub . . . ask them if you can come along to a Pack Night meeting and see what all the fuss is about.

Most groups will be glad to let you stay for a night or two to see what it is like.

If you enjoy Scouting (and many people do!) you can find out how to become a full member from the leaders at your chosen group.

You can also contact your local Scout Group through our District Office.

Go to the contact link to fill out our online form and we will get back to you with the information that you require.

Cub Scout Promise

I promise that I will do my best
to do my duty to my God and to The Queen
to help other people and to keep the Cub Scout Law

Cub Scout Law

Cub Scouts always do their best
think of others before themselves
and do a good turn every day.

Cubs Programme

 

Cub Scout activities are a combination of learning and having fun.

They learn about themselves and how to look after themselves, they get to know people from their local community.

They find out about life in other countries and explore through organised activities.

They care by helping those around them.

The Cub Scout programme and activities are based on seven Programme Zones,
these are:

  • Outdoor Scouting
  • Fitness
  • Discovering the World around You
  • Creative
  • Beliefs & Attitudes
  • Caring and Community
  • Global

It is by participating in a Balanced Programme that the Cub Scout experiences Scouting.

The Balanced Programme provides opprtunities for growth and development in six personal development areas.

These are:

98 Body 4 Relationships
3 Mind 1 Community
2 Faith & Beliefs 1 Surroundings

What badges do Cubs have?

Cub Scouts can gain a wide range of badges and awards.

12

Every Cub wears a set of badges to identify themselves.

They have a Membership Badge to show they are in Scouting, a District and County Badge along with a group Name Tape to show which Scout Group they come from.

Every now and then there are special events that allow you to wear a special badge for a short period of time.

These normally stay on your uniform for around a year.

When the time comes to remove the badge you can add it to your collection.

Many Cubs keep a collection of badges and may even add them to a ‘camp blanket’
which makes a good talking piece when you wear it around the campfire.
