Cubs

8 to 10½ years

Being a Cub is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. Cubs’ provides an opportunity for your child to develop their independence and make new friends. Meets take place once a week in our Scout hut or outside.

There are many awards and badges for Cubs to earn but the most important aspect of Cub Scouting are the experiences available to them. The challenge badges are awarded for hard work and dedication to the seven unique criteria each badge requires.
