We aim to provide a balanced program of activities that are fun and challenging for the Cub's.

Cub's enjoy trying new skills which help them develop physically, mentally and socially.

“Dressing up during indoor camp”Just one of the many enjoyable activities during their time there.

When Cub Scout's start, they learn about the basic history of scouting and the Cub Scout Promise:

I Promise that I will do my best,
to do my duty to God,
and to the Queen,
to help other people,
and to keep the cub Scout Law.

After a few weeks they will take part in a small investiture ceremony where they'll officially become members of the Cub Pack and and the worldwide Scout movement.
