Cub Scouts Information

Who are Cub Scouts?

Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 and a half years old who are members of the Scout Association. They meet together, and they work in small groups called sixes, which form part of the pack. The pack is supervised by a team of leaders and helpers who plan and run the programme.

What do Cub Scouts wear?

Cub Scouts now wear a green polo shirt and sweatshirt, with navy blue activity trousers or shorts. A Cub Scout also wears the group scarf with a coloured woggle (usually representing the six that they are in).
