What Cubs do
Cubs build on what Beavers started and spend more time outdoors, picking up skills they will use right through scouting.
- Hikes and weekend camps
- First knots, map reading and compass work
- Campfires and cooking outdoors
- Team games and challenges
- Badges and awards that mark their progress
Sixes and the Pack
The Cub section is called a Pack, and Cubs work in small teams called Sixes. Each Six has a Sixer and a Seconder, older Cubs who help look after their team, which gives them an early go at leading.
