Activities and what you’ll get up to

Cubs do a wide range of activities, including the occasional camp. Activities range from arts and crafts to climbing and abseiling to kayaking and sailing – we like to give the cubs an experience of the adventure that scouting has to offer! Our programme is carefully planned according to the “Balanced Programme” philosophy that scouting promotes in order to provide a wide range of activities and experiences

We meet every Monday from 6:30pm-8pm at Padworth Village Hall (https://w3w.co/factor.fixtures.looms)

Cub Promise

I promise that I will do my best

To do my duty to God and to the King

To help other people

And to keep the Cub Scout Law.

Cub Law

Cub Scouts always do their best

Think of others before themselves

And do a good turn every day.

Moving up to Scouts

Eventually, it’ll be time to say farewell to Cubs and embrace your next big adventure.

Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!

Cub leaders

Our leadership team is entirely made up of volunteers who enjoy running cub meetings! All adult leaders have training and a CRB check, and there is always at least one adult who is first aid qualified

If you would like the opportunity to do something you’d never thought of doing, while having lots of fun and giving back to the community at the same time, please get in touch

We can always do with more leaders!
