Cubs

Cub Scouts (boys and girls aged between 8 and 10 and a half years old) get the chance to try lots of different activities such as games, badge work, sports and practical skills like cooking.

Cubs follow a balanced programme of activities which gives them a chance to try new things, work with other people, explore the world around them and develop personal skills. Cubs also get the change to go on all sorts of outings incuding day trips and longer trips such as summer camps.

The core age range of the Cub Scout Section is from 8 to 10 and a half years, although young people may remain in the Pack until their 11th birthday.

The Cub Scouts Scottish Challenge Badge was introduced in November 2009, with the aim of increasing the awareness among Cub Scouts of their Scottish heritage though a variety of activities under six headings: Community, Fitness, Creative, Global, Outdoor and Adventure, and Beliefs and Attitudes. The requirements of the badge can be downloaded from the list at the bottom of this page.
