Our Cub Scout Pack caters for boys within the age range of 8 years to 101/2 years. Cub Packs usually divide their members up into small 'teams' of about six cubs called Sixes. Currently we have two Sixes - Blue and Green. Each six is led by an older cub called a Sixer who is supported by a Seconder.

Cub Scouting, by tradition, has adapted some ideas from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. It is usual for the leaders to be known to the youngsters by the names of the animals in this book.

To get an idea of what we get up to please visit our Cub Pack Picture Gallery.

All new Cub Scouts make the Cub Scout Promise at their Investiture Ceremony - it is usual for parents and friends to be invited to attend this event.

 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.

As part of their promise Cub Scouts promise to keep the Cub Scout Law.

 The Cub Scout Law
Cub Scouts always do their best
think of others before themselves
and do a good turn every day.
