Cubs
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.
Join in our games and activities to see if you enjoy it (parents are welcome to stay if they like).
What is a Cub Scout Pack?
A Cub Scout Pack comprises up to 24 girls and boys aged 8 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.
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.
This year, apart from our regular Wednesday evening pack nights, we have participated in the Sydney North Region Cub Scout Fun Day, been canoeing with 2nd Longueville Cub Scouts, and taken part in the Moocooboola Area hike and fishing day at Greenwich.
Our outings over the last year have included visits to the Scouts Air Activity Centre at Camden Airport where we went flying, the Sydney Observatory looking at the stars and Mars, indoor climbing at Climbfit at Artarmon, hiking in Ryde, a sailing course, and camping at the Scouts “Camp Kuringai” at Wilberforce.
