PLEASE NOTE: At the moment, our Cub Scouts Unit is at capacity and a waiting list has been instigated.
Cub Scouts is for young people starting from 8 years of age until they turn 11, at which point they transition to Scouts.
Cub Scouts are:
- Creating their own paths
- Developing their sense of place
- Exploring the world around them
- Encountering new experiences
- Expanding perspectives
- Determining their own adventures
- Building upon friendships
There are fun camps for Cub Scouts which could have interesting themes like ‘Space Odyssey’ or ‘Pirates on the High Seas’. With some experience, you can even join a 5-day ‘Cuboree’ with hundreds of other excited Cub Scouts at Gilwell Park, near Gembrook.
Cub Scouts play fantastic games like scavenger hunts or they might build a catapult together.
They can also earn a range of badges for bushcraft, cooking, canoeing and many other skills. There’s even a ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ badge, designed with the help of Victoria Police, which involves the Cub Scouts being aware of emergency phone numbers and learning about security issues for themselves or their homes.
Our Cub Scout Unit operates on Monday nights from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and incorporates a program involving many activities to trigger curiosity and imagination to meet the development needs of the Cubs.
