A Cub Scout pack comprises up to 24 boys and girls aged around 8 to 10 1/2 years who
take off together on an a exciting trail to adventure! The well trained
volunteer leaders are known by names taken from the famous story The Jungle
Book.
Imagination Rules!
The jungle theme still captures the imagination of young Cub Scouts. Cub
Scouts learn about basic bushcraft and how to react to emergencies. They
learn new skills through fun and games. The games are important, and are
carefully devised to encourage teamwork and sharing, encouraging the younger
and less experienced to 'do their best'.
Through Adventure based activities Cub Scouts learn the first steps in cooperation and taking responsibility. Rock climbing, abseiling, camping under canvas and bushwalking are all introduced at an appropriate level.
So much fun - so much activity!!
Cub Scouts get to visit Rural Fire services, airports, There's no limit to
the activities and the only rule is that the activity must be fun.
Badges recognize achievements
Cub Scouts love putting new badges on their uniform! Awards are presented in
recognition of the effort made by each Cub at their own level of ability.
Boys and girls are recognized for their developing skills through the
'Boomerang Award Scheme' which includes activities on personal hygiene and
healthcare, science and discovery., safety at home and in the bush, tests of
physical skill, handcrafts and the traditional Scouting skills of knotting,
map and compass and hiking.
Achievement Badges - Two Levels
Include sport, boating, cycling, entertaining, gardening, pet care, nature craft, construction and science. The ultimate award - the 'Grey Wolf'- is awarded to those Cub Scouts who demonstrate a long term commitment and attain the highest levels in badge work.
