Cub Scouts

Cub Scouts range from 9 to 11 years of age. Once a Cub Scout reaches the age of 12 they move up to Scouts, the next section. The Cub Scout adventure is full of fun and exploration. Cubs is all about finding out about new things, places and new ways of having fun. We learn to become more responsible because we want to do more things like go on longer camps and lead activities. And this is exactly what Cub Scouts do, generally each camp is 2 nights long where as Beaver Scout's camps are usually only one.

Cub Scouts are organised into small groups called Sixes which in our group we have four of and there are 8 Cub Scouts in each. The Sixes are collected together in what we call a Pack. Each Six has one of the Cub Scouts as their leader and that person is called the Sixer. The Sixers meet and talk about things that the Cub Scouts would like to do and this meeting is called a Sixer Council. Each six also has an assistant leader called a Seconder. Both Sixer and Seconder are older Cub Scouts who have more experience the their new Cub Scouts.

Leaders try to ensure that each Cub Scout is given the chance to take on additional responsibility as they develop and the chance to act as the leader of a small group on a regular basis.
