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

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.

    members)

Further optional personal data may also be processed to assist Scouts in monitoring its impact, such as:

For further details and a full list of what personal data’s processed, why it’s processed and for how long, please visit the Scouts HQ Data Protection Policy and the data privacy policy of your local group.

We know everyone has a skill, hobby or interest we can use at Scouts and anytime you can offer to help out is awesome. You can volunteer as little or as much as you like, we’re super flexible.

Interested?

Speak to one of the leaders about the different tasks we need support with at each meeting. If you could help us out once or twice a term, it’ll make a big difference.

The Promise is a simple way to help young people and adults keep the Fundamentals of Scouting in mind. The Promise is the commitment made by all Members as they join Scouting, promising to share the values of Scouting. It is therefore vital that every Member considers the Promise, and discusses its meaning before making the Promise and being invested into Scouting.

There are a number of variations of the Promise to reflect the range of faiths, beliefs and attitudes; and nationalities in the UK within Scouting. Each version is written to be appropriate to the broad level of understanding of each of the age groups within the Movement. We believe that this approach is inclusive. Celebrating and understanding difference, including difference in faiths and beliefs, is an important aspect of the educational and developmental side of Scouting.

The Cubs themselves got together with a leader and all came up and agreed a number of rules that they wish to abide by when coming to a meeting or participating in an activity or event. These are as follows

  • Listen to sixers, leaders, and each other. Don’t interrupt and always pay attention.
  • Treat others how you want to be treated, be kind, polite and show respect.
  • Be honest, encourage others, always take part, and keep going, even if it’s tough. No excuses!
  • Have fun and stay safe.

They also agreed on what a suitable consequence would be if they continue to break the rules.

  • Not following the rules may lead to time outs and/or removal from an activity.
