Cubs are for 8, 9 and 10 year olds and they make up the second section of the Scout Group. The Cub Pack is split into smaller groups called Sixes.
What do Cubs do?
The are loads of fun things that Cub Scouts can do. Cubs will get a chance to try lots of different activities like hiking, air rifle shooting, bushcraft skills, swimming, exploring, archery and fishing.
Cubs also do weekend trips and days out, in the past few years we have been on visits such as to the local fire station, Revolution Skate park, Margate Caves, Imperial War Museum Duxford and saw 'The Jungle Book' at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury.
Cubs also get to take part in camping trips and pack holidays with loads of adventurous activities, sleeping in tents, log cabins or even Navy warships (as a group we have slept on both HMS Belfast in London and HMS Cavalier in Chatham).
When do Cubs meet?
Cubs meet on a Tuesday evenings during term time between 6.45pm and 8.15pm. There are also extra events run on weekends.

Joining Cubs
Your child can try out Cubs for three or four weeks to make sure it is right for them before they are invested by learning the Cub Scout Law and making the Cub Scout Promise.
Many of our Cubs move up from our Beaver section and we are also happy to take in new entrants from those who are not already members of 1st Birchington. Please use our online contact form to send us a message with your details.
