Prepare To Become
a Cub Scout
ENQUIRIES WELCOME
Cub Scouts is for boys and girls aged 8 to 11 years, and focuses on exploring the outdoors, discovery and learning interesting things! Cub Scouts belong to a Pack and begin to learn leadership and teamwork in small teams called Sixes.
If you enjoy fun, games and learning new skills then you’ll love being a Cub Scout! You’ll get to go on camps with your Pack, and you might attend a Cuboree camp with hundreds of other Cub Scouts! As well as learning things like how to use a compass, you’ll go on bushwalks, bike trips, and have the chance to do things like sailing, canoeing, abseiling and sometimes even flying!
Your Cub Scout Leader will help you along the way and encourage you to take part. You’ll learn life-long skills, make friends and have fun! Cub Scouts are keen to learn, belong, and have fun, so our activities are designed to stimulate their emotional and adventurous spirits.

Friendship & Belonging
Making new friends and building social skills are very important for Cub Scouts. For some, belonging to Cub Scouts provides an opportunity to mix with a new group of people, developing their confidence and ability to make new friends. Cub Scout families are welcome to get involved too! There’s lots of opportunities for the whole family to make new friends and feel part of the Scouting community.
Adventure
Cub Scouts are always having adventures. You might get to go abseiling, rock climbing, go-karting, sailing or canoeing. There’s lots of camping to be done, and your Pack might go on a Pack Holiday together to somewhere you’ve never been before.
Uniform and Badges
Cub Scouts wear a blue polo or button-up shirt with yellow sleeves. They will also be given a scarf and badges to sew on the uniform. One of the best things about Cub Scouts are the hundreds of badges you can earn to sew on your uniform. There’s sure to be something that takes your interest!
When you first talk to the Cub Scout Leader about joining, they will give you information about what to wear and bring to your first meeting. You can buy your Cub Scout uniform at the Scout Shop.
