Call of the wild…

There are nearly 130,000 Cub Scouts in the UK. A Cub Scout Pack has up to 36 Cub Scouts and is split into smaller groups called Sixes. Each Six can have a Cub Scout in charge of it called the Sixer.

A weekly Cub Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors. Cub Scouts are able to go to Cub Scout camps or indoor Pack residentials and enjoy a variety of expeditions.

In the District we book venues and run a wide range of events for Cubs each year. These vary from action-packed swimming galas, bowling competitions and night hikes, to memorable District Cub Camps, outings to Legoland and a sunny afternoon of raft building.
