107th Newcastle under Lyme Cub Pack

There are loads of great things to do as a Cub Scout including camping, exploring, playing, sports activities, cooking, collecting and computing. The Cubs also get to go on trips - last year they went to the Cadburys Factory in Birmingham and this year they are off to Eureka in Halifax.

The Cub Scouts is one of the younger sections of the Scouting Movement for children aged 8 - 10½ years old. We all meet on a Wednesday evening during term time from 6.30pm until 8.00pm. There is no waiting list and all that we ask is that the children are 8 years old before they start. Subscriptions are £20.00 per term and this covers the cost of the rent for the hall and garage, all their badges and neckerchiefs and any other materials required for their badge work.

There are two leaders at present - Jill, who is also the Assistant District Commissioner for Cub Scouts for Newcastle-under-Lyme and John, who is the Scout Leader from another Troop. They are helped by several young leaders and leaders from other packs and troops.

Once the Cub Scout is enrolled into the Pack, they can take part in all the activities including the camping. The Cubs are out on camp at least 5 times a year, sleeping both indoors and out in tents. The Cub Scouts also do a lot of badges including cooks, navigator, explorer, camper, collector, fitness, artist and scientist. The Cub Scouts also take part in a lot of activities at District level including the District Camps, St Georges Day Parade, Swimming Gala, 5-a-Side Football, Sports Day and Competition Camps.

For further information about the Cub Pack please contact Jill or John or 719450, or bring your child along to Cubs on a Wednesday evening.
