Cubs’ Latest News: These photos show some of the Cubs enjoying our ferry trip on 16th November, (part of the NSW Cub Scouts Out and About Promotion) from Greenwich Ferry Wharf to Circular Quay. Once there, the cubs purchased their own ferry tickets, then we explored around Customs House and found Scout Place where the new Scouts’ wind sculpture has recently been installed. Then we walked along the Writers’ Walk to the Opera House and back before boarding the ferry for the return journey

When do we meet?

Come along any Wednesday during the school term from 7.00pm to 8.30pm at the 1st Lane Cove Scout Hall and see what we do, but it also may be an idea to check our program in case we have scheduled an outing.

Please see our location map for details.

Join in our games and activities to see if you enjoy it (parents are welcome to stay if they like). There is a no obligation 6 week “try out” period.

What is a Cub Scout Pack?

A Cub Scout Pack comprises up to 24 girls and boys aged 7 1/2 to 11 years who meet weekly at the Scout Hall or go on outdoor activities. Your pack will be divided into Sixes which are groups comprising six people. Each group of six will have a leader called a Sixer and an assistant leader called a Seconder.

What are the badges for?

The Cub Award System of Boomerang and Achievement Badges recognise the effort made by each Cub Scout at their own level of ability. The Boomerang Tests form part of a structured process followed by the leaders to ensure that the Scouting objectives are achieved for each Cub. We try to construct games and activities which, as long as the Cub tries his or her best, will result in the Cub meeting the requirement for that test. Activity badges are for special interest activities for which the Cubs can gain recognition. Please visit our badges page to see the placement of Cub and Scout badges on the uniform,

What else do we do?

Cub Scouts learn about basic bushcraft, first aid, safety and how to react in emergencies through structured activities and games. While the games are fun they also encourage teamwork and sharing.

Apart from our regular Wednesday evening pack nights, we attended the NSW Cuboree held at Cataract Scout Park in January and have joined with other cubs in our District for a Cubs Leadership Camp. Cubs have also taken part in various local community events on Australia Day and ANZAC Day, supported Clean Up Australia and helped collect for the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal. In the October holidays we joined in to the District Scout Camp with activities on a Flight theme.

Our other 2011 activities have included attending the Sirius Cup canoeing and sailing regatta, campfires at our hall, wide games in Blackman Park. The Cub Scout Pack also took part in the Australia-wide ‘Scouts in Action Week’ in August with games and activities promoting disability awareness.

All of these events involve the cub scouts in different aspects of their local community and develop a sense of belonging.
