Cub Scouts
Cub Scouts is for children aged eight to ten and a half (with some flexibility). It’s the third stage of the Scouting journey and packed with opportunities to explore, learn, and have fun. Cubs can try all kinds of activities – swimming, music, exploring, computing, collecting, and plenty more. When they complete challenges, they earn badges to proudly wear on their uniform.
There are also exciting trips and days out, from visiting the zoo to exploring theme parks or spending time on a farm. Cubs often get the chance to go camping too, sleeping in tents and enjoying outdoor adventures with their pack. It’s a brilliant way for young people to grow in confidence, make friends, and discover new interests.

The Cub Scout Promise*
I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and to The King,
To help other people
And to keep the Cub Scout Law.
* We have different variations of our Promise, so everyone can make a Promise that means something to them, no matter their background or belief.
The Cub Scout Law
Cub Scouts always do their best
Think of others before themselves
And do a good turn every day
