Welcome to Cubs


We know both you and your child will enjoy the benefits of Scouting at our Cub Pack.
Please feel free to talk to us should you have any queries on issues not covered here.


Cubs is a programme of exploration.  Cub Packs offer learning programmes where children are encouraged to experience, experiment, and explore.



When you join Cubs you'll become a member of a group called a 'Six', who are Year 3 to Year 6 at school.
So, come and join cubs and have lots of fun, explore new things, make new friends, experiment, accept challenges, and experience the life of being a Cub.

Cubs make the Scout Promise; this is used as a guideline for meetings and activities:

Scout Promise
On my honour, I promise to do my best,
To develop my spiritual beliefs,
To contribute to my community, country and world,
To help other people,
And to live by the Scout Law.

Scout Law



What you can expect from Scouts

What Scouts expects of you
Safety
Please come into the Hall to drop off and pick up your child.  We appreciate it when you promptly collect your child.  Let your leader know if someone else will collect your child.
Absence
If your child is absent for any reason please call us.
Behaviour
Good behaviour is the joint responsibility of the child, parent and leaders.  Everyone is expected to cooperate, follow instructions, and trust people and property with respect.  Leaders use positive reinforcement and a reward system to encourage appropriate behaviour.

Scout facts
The generic term for members of all the sections is “SCOUTS”. Not all of our volunteers wear the uniform.  Many of our volunteers help because they’re parents of a current member.  Many were not Scouts when they were younger but have learned new skills and made new friends through Scouts.  Many of our adult volunteers say they are more confident inn their everyday lives as a result of their involvement with Scouts.  All our leaders are covered by comprehensive insurance whilst taking part in Scouts.

The Biggest Myth
…..groups are closing down through lack of youth wanting to become members.
Nothing could be further from the truth.  SCOUTS is growing. Adult helpers and Leaders are currently our limiting factor.  We just don’t have enough leaders to run the exciting adventure programmes we want to, with all the youth who want to join SCOUTS!
