Cub Scouts

For boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 11

Become a 21st Century Adventurer and get into heaps of seriously exciting indoor and outdoor fun activities.
You'll become a member of a 'Six' led by a 'Sixer' and will meet weekly at the local Scout Hall or go our on
activities. There'll be games to play and new friends to meet. You'll wear your own Scout uniform to show
you're part of the largest youth organisations in the world.

Teamwork begins here

A Cub Scout pack comprises up to 24 boys and girls aged 8 to 11 years who take off together on an a exciting
trail to adventure! The well trained volunteer leaders are known by names taken from the famous story The
Jungle Book. Cub Scouts follow on from Joey Scouts (6 - 8 years) and lead into Scouts (11 - 15 years).

Imagination Rules!

The jungle theme still captures the imagination of young Cub Scouts, who also enjoy themed programs based
around bushrangers, pirates and explorers. Cub Scouts learn about basic bushcraft and how to react too
emergencies. Life is one big adventure as they learn new skills through fun and games. The games are
important, and are carefully devised to encourage teamwork and sharing, encouraging the younger and less
experienced to 'do their best'. Helping others forms an important part of Cub Scouting.

Through Adventure based activities Cub Scouts learn the first steps in cooperation and taking responsibility.
Rock climbing, abseiling, camping under canvas and bushwalking are all introduced at an appropriate level.

So much fun - so much activity!!

Cub Scouts get to canoe and sail, go gliding and flying in light aircraft, visit Rural Fire services, airports,
museums, and the zoo. There's no limit to the activities and the only rule is that the activity must be fun.

Badges recognise achievements

Cub Scouts love putting new badges on their uniform! Awards are presented in recognition of the effort made
by each youngster at their own level of ability. Boys and girls are recognised for their developing skills through
the 'Boomerang Award Scheme' which includes activities on personal hygiene and healthcare, science and
discovery, safety at home and in the bush, tests of physical skill, handcrafts and the traditional Scouting skills
of knotting, map and compass and hiking.

Achievement Badges include sport, boating, cycling, entertaining, gardening, pet care, nature craft,
construction and science. The ultimate award - the 'Grey Wolf' - is awarded to those Cub Scouts who
demonstrate a long term commitment and attain the highest levels in badge work.

So do you think you can handle the fun and adventure?
