Cubs is the second section of the Scouting movement, originally started in 1916 for younger brothers who wanted a ‘look-in’. In nearly a century, the section has constantly evolved and adapted its programme and methods to meet the changing needs of each generation of young people, and these days admits girls as well as boys.

Under some circumstances, Cub Scouts can join the Pack as young as 7 1/2 if, for example, they have friends joining at the same time, or are mature enough to move on early from Beavers, (and there is space in the Pack).

During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting.

There are a range of badges available which Cub Scouts can wear on their uniforms to show everyone how well they’re doing.

Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes they will be able to go camping with the rest of the Pack and take part in all kinds of outdoor activities.

A Pack of Cub Scouts is organised into Sixes, with each Six named after a colour, and a Sixer and a Seconder in charge.

We meet every Wednesday from 6:30pm

A Weekly payment of £3.00 due at the beginning of each meeting.

Every now and again we will be asking for small contributions towards activities and fee’s for trips and visits, but they are always good value for money.

Don’t be embarrassed to mention to any of the Leaders if you have trouble in paying any of the subscription charges. We will be only too happy to help, we do not want any of our Young People to miss out on any of our activities.

If you want to take part in the fun of Cub Scouting, either as a Cub Scout, or as an Adult Leader or helper, and join 9th Scouting please contact the Cubs Leadership Team at cubs@9th.southamptoncityscouts.co.uk
