2nd St. Ives Cub Pack
Boys and Girls age 8 to 10 ½ years.
Term time every Tuesday
For Cubs, excitement and adventure are key. Their program offers a huge variety of activities surrounding areas of fitness, global and beliefs; whilst allowing them to be creative and get involved in their local communities. Cubs are introduced to exciting outdoor skills and take part in adventurous activities, as well as camps and residential experiences.
The Cub Pack is the second section of the Scout Group following on from Beavers. Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 ½.
There is core flexibility in the age range: young people can join from age 7½ and can move to Scouts between age 10 and 11. It may sometimes be appropriate to extend this flexibility for young people with additional needs.
We meet on Tuesdays
19:00 – 20:30 (Term time)

Structure
A Cub Pack is usually organised into small groups called Sixes, each headed up by an older Cub called a Sixer, and often with a Seconder as well. Sixes can be used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Cub Scout Pack. They may provide a ‘home’ area for Cub Scouts to gather at points at the start, during or at the end of the Pack meeting.
Activities
During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on camps. Participation and personal development, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cub Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
Uniform
Parents are asked to provide the uniform sweatshirt and navy blue activity trousers (which their child may wear as soon as they have it). These may be purchased from the group or alternatively from any Scout shop. (Suitable alternative trousers are available)
For Pack meetings, uniforms are to be clean and presentable with Cubs wearing polished shoes/boots and dark socks.
The group supplies a woggle, denoting the six colour and a neckerchief (Necker).
Group activity clothing (logo’d t-shirt, hoodie and Jacket) are available from the section leaders. On occasion these will replace the official uniform (Necker to still be worn) when activities undertaken are “dirty” or adventurous, alternative footwear on these occasions, may also be requested.
All Cub belongings must be clearly marked with their name so that they may be returned should they go astray.
Promise and Law
To become a member of the Scout Association and our Group, your child will be asked to make a promise at an investiture ceremony. This would normally be undertaken on a section evening; however they can be carried out at any event e.g. at camp.
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.
The Cub Scout Law
Cub Scouts always do their best,
think of others before themselves
and do a good turn every day.
Camps, hikes and water adventures are some of the most memorable events of the year for our Cubs.
