Leadership Opportunities

Sixers and Seconders, by their very nature, have automatic leadership opportunities i.e. they are given the opportunity to guide their Six. 

It must be recognised that the Sixer or Seconder may not be the natural leader in certain activities for example : the Six are in the Kingdom of the Celts and the chosen activity is to teach the rest of the pack new campfire songs and ultimately to lead the pack in a campfire. he Sixer or Seconder may not know many songs or have the inclination to lead a campfire, however within the six is a Cub Scout who loves singing and would be an excellent campfire leader ... if given the opportunity. It is in this instance that leadership of the Six, for a specific activity, should fall to a Cub Scout other than the Sixer or Seconder. To recognise the leadership role a "token" that would be held by the person leading the six.

Leadership & Responsibility

By becoming a member of a Cub Pack the Cub Scout develops / enhances a realisation that their participation and interaction with each other brings certain responsibilities. By working in small groups (Six) each Cub Scout will take on a role and be given the opportunity to lead their Six. These roles rotate in order to give every member the opportunity to lead and take responsibility.
