About the Cubs
The Cubs are the section of the Scouts open to 8-10½ year olds. They follow on from the Beaver Colony (6-8 year olds) and Cubs will move onto the Scout Troop at the age of 10½.The Cubs within the Pack are separated into Sixes, ideally of 5-7 members, with a Sixer and a Seconder each. We also have the option of appointing a Senior Sixer who can help the leaders and the Sixes
Awards
The Scout Membership Award - The Membership Award is only actually received by young people new to Scouting, whereas those members who have joined from a Beaver Colony will undertake the Moving-On Award. However, the Awards cover the same basic principles, and many Packs will have all new Cubs participate in the Membership Award, regardless of how they came to join the Section.
Challenge Badges - Cubs continue the Scouting programme of Progressive Awards. The requirements of each stage become more challenging, reflecting the age and abilities of the young people undertaking the Awards. A list of the Cub Scout Challenge Badges can be found here.
Chief Scout’s Silver Award - This badge is the highest award available in the Cub Scout Section. It is gained by completing the Promise, Creative, Community, Fitness, Global and Outdoor Challenges.
Activity Badges – There are currently 35 Activity Badges available specifically for Cub Scouts, and a list of them can be found here.
Staged Activity Badges – Cubs are also welcome to attempted the staged activity badges that are open to all sections – details can be found here.
The Cub Scout promise is very similar to the Scout promise, however a few words have been simplified:
- I promise that I will do my best,
- to do my duty to God and to the Queen,
- to help other people
- and to keep the Cub Scout Law.
The Cub Scout Law
- Cub Scouts always do their best
- think of others before themselves
- and do a good turn everyday.
