General Information

Our Mascot

Cub Scout Pack

8—10 1/2 year olds

We meet once a week for an hour and a quarter where we have a balanced programme which includes badge work and games and occasional visits and in the summer term getting out and about, camping, tracking, camp fires and much more.

We have a law and promise which we have to learn and all our activities are run around them.

I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and to the Queen,
To help other people
And to keep the Cub Scout Law

Cub Scouts always do their best
Think of others before themselves
And do a good turn every day

Our Motto is

Be Prepared

Badges and Awards

Here you will find links to the new Badge requirements, we hope to bring you ideas related to some of these badges over the coming months.

Membership and Joining In Badges

The Membership and Joining-In Awards signify that a Cub Scout has made their promise and has participated in the programme for a period of time.

The Moving on Award (Beaver Scout to Cub Scout)

A Beaver Scout swimming up to join the Cub Scout Pack can start work on their Cub Scout Membership Award in the four weeks before they join the Pack. You need to talk to the Beaver Scout Leader to plan together to make sure this transition goes smoothly.

The Beaver Scout Leader presents the Moving-On Award, normally during a Swimming Up Ceremony. It can be worn on the Cub Scout uniform

The Cub Scout Membership Award

A young person joining the Cub Scout Pack after the age of eight, and who has not previously been a Beaver Scout, will start work on their Cub Scout Membership Award straightaway.

The badge is presented at the Investiture ceremony when the new Cub Scout makes their Promise.

The joining in awards

These are special badges that are awarded at regular intervals of around a year. They celebrate the Cub Scout's participation in a Balanced Programme.

The Moving on Award (Cub Scout to Scout)

The Moving-On Award is intended to help a Cub Scout make a smooth transfer to the Scout Troop.

The requirements:

1. Attend both Cub Scouts and Scouts for four to six weeks and take an active part in the troop programme.

2. Work for the Scout Membership Award during this time

The Challenge Badges
