cub scouts
what are cub scouts?
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities
the balanced programme
The philosophy underpinning the programme is that every Cub Scout should participate in a Balanced Programme over a period of time. The emphasis has shifted from a badge and award driven culture to one that ensures that all young people experience a quality programme covering a wide range of subjects. To help, the Balanced Programme is divided into a number of Programme Zones, methods and underlying ways of working.
programme zones
Programme Zones split the whole programme into manageable areas. Each Zone represents a different development area in a young person's life. There are seven Programme Zones in Cub Scouting. They are:
Outdoor Scouting
Fitness
Discovering the World Around You

Beliefs and Attitudes
Caring and Community
