Cub Scout Team

Mel is one of our Cub Section assistants and came back to the 12th earlier this year after a short break – she couldn’t resist the call of the ‘best’

Craig Fisher

Craig has been part of the 12th for a while, on loan from another group but now he has joined us full time and we are very pleased about it.

Ben Paulley (Chil)

Ben is a man of many talents being part of the Beaver colony for a couple of years and is now a Cub leader. He is a face known to both sections which is a wonderful help as Beavers transition across to Cubs.

Ruth Miller

Ruth is originally from New Zealand and has been a leader in other Scout groups in the UK so has plenty of experience. It’s always exciting to see what colour her hair is from week to week.
