Our Cub Scout Pack
Who We Are
Cub Scouts collectively form a 'Pack' - just as Beavers form a 'Colony', Scouts a 'Troop' and Explorer Scouts a 'Unit'. They are normally aged between eight and ten and a half years old. We automatically phase them into the Troop.We, like all Packs, have a waiting list of boys and girls wishing to join. It is advisable to put their names down as soon as possible. Our Beavers get priority for available places.
We normally have 24 - 30 Cub Scouts who are supervised by 5 warranted Leaders and 3 Colony Assistants. The Cubs are organised into 4 'sixes' - Blue, Red, Green and Yellow - each with 6 or more Cubs.
Our Cub Scouts can be recognised by their green sweatshirt, dark red necker and long, dark blue activity trousers.
What We Do
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.
