Cubs

Cubs is the second section of the Scouting movement, originally started in 1916 for younger brothers who wanted a 'look-in'. Cubs take part in a wide range of activities designed to be interesting and challenging. A Cub Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors. Camps are some of the most memorable events of the year for Cubs. Cubs work toward earning various Activity and Challenge Badges, leading towards a Chief Scout Silver Award.

A Pack of Cub Scouts is organised into Sixes, with each Six named after a colour, and a Sixer and a Seconder in charge. Responsible Cubs could become Senior Sixer, providing assistance to the leaders in running the activities.

Our Cub Scouts wear a dark green sweatshirt with a yellow Group scarf (often called a necker) which is held in place by a woggle. Each Six has a different colour woggle. Positioning of the badges is shown below.
