​
Thank you again to everyone who supported our Cub Pack charity activities including the coffee morning on Sunday 14th December. A total of £550 was raised which you can see HERE on the Help for Hunger website.
Our friendly Cub Pack, which meets on Thursdays from 7:00pm until 8:30pm, is very active with a strong focus on teamwork and everyone trying their best.
Every Cub is encouraged to work towards their Chief Scout's Silver Award and there are numerous activity badges which are also completed.
​
We do lots of outdoors activities including night hikes, a local history quiz, wide games. open fire cooking and of course camping. Football is an activity which is regularly available to our Cubs.
​
We take part in all the District activities available including a chess competition, annual sports day, swimming gala and 5-a-side football competition, a quiz, and “Cub Trek” which is an 8km orienteering challenge around the local countryside.
​
Charity work is an important part of being a Cub Scout and also counts towards the Chief Scout's Silver Award, and since 2016 we have raised over £7,500 for a range of different charities.
​
We hope that all Cubs enjoy the wide range of activities which are available, growing in confidence, developing existing talents and also learning new skills.
