Cub ScoutingFor boys and girls aged 8 - 10.5 years
Cub Scouts belong to the second section of the scouting family and are easily recognised by their dark green uniform.
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, climbing, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks and farms. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.

CubJam2013 planning is well under way
Planning is well under way for the next week long camp open to all Cub Scouts to enjoy at Gilwell, 25th to 31st May 2013. 
The aim of Cubjam is to offer Cub Scouts from across the UK the opportunity to join together for a week of “jamboree” style fun, reminding them that they have much in common with each other – no matter their background or where they are from. Cubjam aims to give them a taste of the adventure that lies ahead in years to come. The wide range of activities offered during Cubjam help the Cub Scouts learn new skills, try new experiences and make new friends. The location also means it is a great way for parents to give their children a bit of freedom to gain their independence in a safe environment.
