 WHAT ARE CUB SCOUTS?

Cub Scouts are boys and girls aged between 8 and 10 years, who like challenge and adventure. The Cub Scout Section is the second of four Sections which make up The Scout Association in Scotland .
Cub Scouts usually meet once a week as a Pack, under the supervision of a trained team of adult Leaders led by the Cub Scout Leader, usually known to the Cub Scouts as Akela. The Pack is divided into Sixes, each named after a colour and led by a Cub Scout called a Sixer, and their Second.

WHAT DO THEY WEAR?

Cub Scout uniform consists of a dark green, long-sleeved sweatshirt, a Group scarf and woggle, the colour of which shows the Six that the Cub Scout belongs to, and trousers or skirt.

WHAT DO THEY DO?

They enjoy themselves! Challenge and adventure are experienced in a wide range of exciting indoor and outdoor activities that include games, crafts cooking, visits and outings, acting, singing and, of course, camping.
Helping others forms an important part of Cub Scouting - fundraising for other charities, conservation projects and working with the elderly and those with special needs are just a few of the good turns' regularly performed by Cub Scouts in the local community.
These activities offer, through the Cub Scout Programme, the opportunity to achieve awards and badges. These awards are presented in recognition of the effort made by each youngster at their own level of ability.
