Cub Pack
Monday 18:30 - 20:00 St Andrews Church Hall
The Cub Pack runs an exciting programme of both inside and outside activities each Monday evenings, It's open to any young person from 8 - 10 1/2 years
Cub Scouts Pack is the third section (after Beavers) in the Scouting family. Cubs can move to the next section Scouts, around the age of ten and a half.
Programmes for the weekly meetings are designed to provide a wide variety of activities to bring out the best in the young people whilst ensuring that they have an enjoyable time. These activities include visits to places of interest, talks / demonstrations provided by outside organisations, games, craft work and general badge work. In addition Cubs have the opportunity to attend camps and activity days some of which are with other packs. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.
As a Cub Scout you will:
- have a lot of fun
- try lots of new things
- play games
- make friends

Investitures
Once your child has been to at least four meetings they will be eligible to become a Cub Scout. Either you can ask me (if your child hassles you!) or I will ask after about seven meetings.
To be invested your child must attend at least four meetings and answer some questions about this pack and scouting in general. The questions will be sent to you after about three weeks' attendance. All the answers can be found on this page.
To become invested they will be required to:
- Make the salute by holding the right hand at shoulder height in the position shown.
