Fun to Join
Cub
Scouts have a lot of fun doing a lot of interesting things! There are
games to play, codes and skills to learn, places to see and new friends to
meet.
Cub Scouts all help each other, and try to help other people too.
Each week you'll get together with other boys and girls your age and be
led into adventure! You'll wear your own Cub Scout uniform to show you're
one of us. And you'll be able to collect special badges to put on your
uniform to show your achievements.
Fun
Out and About
Cub Scouts get to see a lot and do a lot.
We spend weekends away together camping, fishing and exploring. We go
to sports meetings, visit factories, go to the zoo, the museum, or the
fire department headquarters. We learn bushcraft, and we learn how to fly
model aeroplanes.
There's a lot more Cub Scouts do too. Why not come along and find out?

Fun in a Pack
You'll find there are around 24 boys and girls in your Cub Scout Pack. All
of them are just like you. They all might have different interests and be
good at different things, but they all want to enjoy themselves and have
fun. Like you, they'll be learning new things each week and discovering
how great it is to be a Cub Scout.

Fun from the Start
At
your first Pack meeting you may feel a bit shy to begin with but it won't
take long to get to know everyone.
You'll learn the Scout Salute, the Handshake, the Motto, the Grand
Howl, Pack Calls, the Cub Scout Law and the Cub Scout Promise. The leaders
will help you. You'll soon be making friends with the other Cub Scouts and
having a terrific time!
Fun in a Six
Your Pack will be divided into `Sixes', so named because each `Six' will
have 6 people in it. The first badge you'll put on your uniform is the
colour patch of your Six.

Fun with your Sixer
One of the boys or girls in your group will be your `Sixer' (a bit like
the Captain of your school sports team). You'll know your Sixer by the two
yellow stripes worn on their left pocket.
The Sixer often has a `Second' as a helper (a bit like a Vice-Captain)
who wears one yellow stripe. You too could eventually wear these stripes
one day and become a Sixer or a Second of your Pack.
Fun with your Leaders
Your Cub Scout Leaders are adults who may once have been Cub Scouts
themselves!
Your Leader is known as `Akela' (The Wolf - the one who stands alone).
Akela's helpers are known as 'Bagheera' (The Panther - the teacher of
hunting) and `Baloo' (The Bear - the teacher of Jungle Law).

The names are from the famous Rudyard Kipling story “The Jungle Book”.
Fun earning Badges
Cub Scouts can earn achievement badges by doing things that interest them
and by learning new skills like cycling, electronics, sports, cookery,
boating, writing and more.
There are also special Boomerang Badges earned by doing things like
tying knots, first aid, hiking in the bush and building models. There are
three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold Boomerang Badges.
Fun near You
Akela would love to see you at the next Pack
meeting.
