Cubs

Our Cub Pack…

Cubs is open to all children from the ages of 8 to 10½.

Whether your child loves getting outdoors, making things, or just wants to make new friends — there’s something for everyone in Cubs.

Cubs meet in groups called Packs, with each Pack split into smaller teams called Sixes. At 1st Stanmore, we meet every Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.

As well as weekly pack nights, Cubs get to enjoy trips and days out — from zoo visits and theme parks to camping under the stars.

What we get up to

Our programme is packed with fun and varied activities. Recent highlights include:

  • Fire station visits
  • Backwoods cooking
  • Pioneering
  • Activity badge challenges
  • Games nights

We also take part in District events, including the swimming gala and 5-a-side football tournament.

Skills for life

Cubs isn’t just about having fun — it’s about growing as a person. Everything we do helps build skills like teamwork, problem-solving, communication and responsibility that children carry with them long after they’ve moved up from Cubs.We give Cubs #SkillsForLife. Encouraging skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, communication and responsibility.

Cub Promise & Law

Since the publication of Scouting for Boys in 1908, all Scouts around the world have taken a promise to live up to ideals of the movement, and subscribed to a Scout Law. The Cub Scout promise is very similar to the Scout promise, however a few words have been simplified:

The Cub Scout Promise

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

The Cub Scout Law

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

Volunteer with us

We’re always looking for adult volunteers — and it’s more rewarding than you might think. Scouting’s mission is to help young people achieve their full potential as individuals and as members of their local, national and international communities.

Roles range from committee members and parent helpers to uniformed leaders. It doesn’t matter how much time you can give — every contribution makes a difference.
