What is Cub Scouting ?

Alice – Cub Scout

“I joined Cubs two years ago because my friends wanted me to see how much fun it was. I was made to feel really welcome and have made lots of friends from outside my school – they are all very funny!

The best thing about being a Cub is going to camps and playing with friends. We play games like dodgeball and also do fun activities that go towards a badge like Chef, Camp and Book Reader.

I would recommend Cubs to anyone – we have a lot of fun and I know when I move up to Scouts we will do even more camping.”

There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.

Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.
