Ignoring the butterflies and going for it.
Young people can become Cubs around their eight birthday, and move up to Scouts at around ten and a half years old.
Many Cubs move up from Beavers, but you don’t need to have been a Beaver to enjoy Cubs.
What do Cubs in the 3rd get up to?
Cub Scouts have a wide variety of activities to offer. Maybe it’s sleeping under the stars on a summer camp, making a den or a hike in the local wood. Just because they can’t hike to the four corners of the Earth, doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy their own adventures.
When they’re not busy in the outdoors, Cubs learn new skills to serve them well for the future. Maybe it’s learning to cook or save a life or even speaking up with confidence – all help to prepare our young people for whatever life brings them. Cubs also learn about the world around them, from the local to the global and making a difference.
Putting the pieces together.
As well as making and living by their promise, Cubs often work towards badges and awards. Sometimes these are activity badges focusing on a particular skill or they might be one of the seven challenge awards to prove themselves. The target is the Chief Scout’s Silver Award, the Top Award for Cubs, gained when they complete the challenge awards.
The handy guide can be used to show you where each badge goes.
