Join Cub Scouts!

Can you handle this much fun?

Fun to Join
Cub Scouts have a lot of fun doing a lot of interesting things! There are games to play, codes and skills to learn, places to see and new friends to meet.
Cub Scouts all help each other, and try to help other people too.

Each week you'll get together with other boys and girls your age and be led into adventure! You'll wear your own Cub Scout uniform to show you're one of us. And you'll be able to collect special badges to put on your uniform to show your achievements.

Fun Out and About
Cub Scouts get to see a lot and do a lot.

From pack outings to weekend camping.  Individual dens visit fire stations, police departments, and other fun places.  Scouts get to learn new skills through crafts, role play and working in teams with other scouts in their den.

There's a lot more Cub Scouts do too. Why not come along and find out?

Fun in a Pack
All of the dens come together to form a pack.  While your fellow pack members may have different interests and be good at different things, but they all want to enjoy themselves and have fun. Like you, they'll be learning new things each week and discovering how great it is to be a Cub Scout.

Fun from the Start
At your first Pack meeting you may feel a bit shy to begin with but it won't take long to get to know everyone.

You'll learn the Scout Salute, the Handshake, the Motto, the Cub Scout Law and the Cub Scout Promise. The leaders will help you. You'll soon be making friends with the other Cub Scouts and having a terrific time!

Fun with your Leaders
Your Cub Scout Leaders are adults who may once have been Cub Scouts themselves!  They volunteer their time to help you to learn the new skills required to become a cub scout.  In some cases, the leaders may be learning the new skills at the same time you are so don't be bashful about offering to help your den leader if they are having a bit of trouble mastering the skills.

Your Leader is known as `Akela' (The Wolf - the one who stands alone). Akela's helpers are known as 'Bagheera' (The Panther - the teacher of hunting) and `Baloo' (The Bear - the teacher of Jungle Law).

The names are from the famous Rudyard Kipling story “The Jungle Book”.

Fun earning Badges
Cub Scouts can earn achievement badges by doing things that interest them and by learning new skills like cycling, archery, sports, outdoor skills, helping others and more.

There are also special Badges earned by doing things like tying knots, first aid, hiking and building useful items like bird houses and feeders

Fun near You
Cub Scout Packs meet regularly at a place close to you. The Pack Leader would love to see you at the next Pack meeting.
