Cub Scouts
What is Cub Scouts all about?
Cub Scouts is for young people starting from 8 years of age who transition to the Scout Unit after turning 11 and before turning 12.
Cub Scouts are:
- Creating their own paths
- Developing their sense of place
- Exploring the world around them
- Encountering new experiences
- Expanding perspectives
- Determining their own adventures
- Building upon friendships
Our Cubs meet once a week on a Tuesday plus some super cool weekend activities.
There are fun camps for Cub Scouts which could have interesting themes like ‘Space Odyssey’ or ‘Pirates on the High Seas’. With some experience, you can even join a five day ‘Cuboree’ with thousands of other excited Cub Scouts at Gilwell Park, near Gembrook.
Cub Scouts play fantastic games like scavenger hunts or they might build a catapult together.
Cubs participate in the Achievement Pathway award scheme and are presented with badges to recognise their achievement. They can also decide if they would like to achieve their Sections peak award, the Grey Wolf Award, the highest achievement in the Cub Scout Section.
