67th Winnipeg Scout Group is one of several groups in Pembina Trails Area (southwest Winnipeg). This area, in turn, is one of several in the Manitoba Council of Scouts Canada, a not-for-profit organization, headquartered in our nation's capital, Ottawa.
As part of the Cub Scout (or “Wolf Cub”) program, girls and boys, ages 8 to 10, are involved in many activities including:
Day trips in the outdoors (e.g. outdoor games, community hikes)
Overnight camps / weekend camps (e.g. Operation Ice Cap winter camp, area camps, group camps)
Gatherings with other cub groups (Wilderness Challenge, Klondike Derby, Kub Kar Rally)
Visits to special places (such as climbing wall, museum, nature centre)
Fundraising (e.g. Scout Trees, Scout Popcorn, Christmas trees)
Public events (e.g., professional hockey or baseball game during Scout and Guide Week)
Indoor and outdoor games, crafts and songs
Cubbing is built around a lively variety of games, crafts, music, storytelling, play acting, spiritual fellowship and the outdoors. The Cub program focuses around six activity areas: The Natural World, Outdoors, Creative Expression, Healthy Living, Home and Community, and Canada and the World. Individual interests and skills are recognized through simple awards.
The outdoors is an essential part of the Cub program. Weekend events, hikes and overnight camping opportunities round out the Cubbing experience.
Cubs meet in a group called a pack. The pack is split into smaller groups called lairs. Each Cub learns a promise, law and motto to help guide their personal development. Cubs are "invested" into a pack by making the Wolf Cub Promise. The promise, along with a corresponding motto and law, are reinforced at weekly meetings.
I promise to do my best
To love and serve God, to do my duty to the Queen;
To keep the law of the Wolf Cub pack,
And to do a good turn for somebody every day.
The Cub respects the Old Wolf,
The Cub respects himself/herself.
Do Your Best
Cubbing offers an exciting variety of creative activities to spark any Cub's imagination. It also promotes wholesome personal development. Scouts Canada believes that children learn by doing. Cub activities encourage children to discover and understand their world through play and adventure.
