Camping and sleepovers

We meet every Thursday during term time from 7pm till 8:30pm at our scout hut at the Brownsea Centre, Cobden Street, Kirkby In Ashfield.

For Cubs, excitement and adventure are key. Their programme offers a huge variety of activities surrounding areas of fitness, global and beliefs; whilst allowing them to be creative and get involved in their local communities. Cubs are introduced to exciting outdoor skills and take part in adventurous activities, as well as camps and residential experiences.

The Cub Pack is the second section of the Scout Group following on from Beavers. Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 ½.

A Cub Pack is organised into small groups called Sixes, each headed up by an older Cub called a Sixer, and often with a Seconder as well.

During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on camps. Participation and personal development, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cub Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Further information about badges and awards for the Cub section can be found here

Investiture

After completing the first three weeks, we will invest the young person as a cub and they will join our pack. For the investiture they will require a cub jumper and our groups necker. There is a short ceremony at the end of a pack night, where the young person will make their cub promise.
