| What is Cubs ? |
|
A Cub is a young boy or girl aged between 8 and 10½
years.
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities
like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This
will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.
The Cub Scout programme still uses the Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book stories
as a basis, each new Cub finding out about the story of Mowgli's entry into the
Pack. The programme starts on a trail to learning all the Scouting skills needed
later in the Scout Troop, giving a taste of the game of Scouting and teaching
how to be part of a co-operative team, the Pack. As well as the adventure the
fun element of the Jungle Book character's are used, the Pack leader being Akela,
and other assistants Rama, Kaa and Baloo.

The Local Knowledge Badge was the theme for this sleepover. The
weekend included a journey on public transport, a local area quiz, a 2
mile hike, map and compass work, making a local history collages and a
visit to a local mining museum. At the mine the Cubs went underground
to learn what it must have been like to be a miner and also explored
the adjacent museum. They did not believe people used to wash in a tin
bath in front of the fire and have to use a toilet outside !
