Who can join Cubs?

When do Cubs meet?

Boys and girls aged 8 to 10 years of age.

Cub Scouts is the second of the four youth sections offered by 1st Bedworth. As we two large Beaver Colonies in the Group we always have Beavers moving up to Cubs as they get older. This means that we do on occasion need to operate a waiting list. Because of this, we advise anybody interested in joining Cubs to get in touch as soon as possible to check availability and get your name down to avoid disappointment.

At the first meeting, parents are given copies of a registration form. The completed registration form should be returned at the next week’s Pack Night

1st Bedworth has two Cub Packs:

Tuesday, 7.00pm to 8.30pm – Hopkins Pack

Thursday, 7.00pm to 8.30pm – Walton Pack

All Cubs are expected to attend their weekly Pack Night each week. They also have the opportunity to attend optional activities on some other evenings and on some weekends

What do Cubs do?

Weekly subscriptions for membership of 1st Bedworth is £2.00 per week for all sections.

This fee covers activity insurance, programme materials, badges and helping to heat, light and maintain the building. It is still payable even if a member does not attend a Pack Night.

Please also be aware that activities outside of the Pack Night may be at extra cost.

Cub Scouts have a lot of fun, learn lots of new things and take part in adventurous activities. They have the chance to gain badges and awards in recognition of the effort made by each youngster at their own level of development and understanding.

The programme includes a wide selection of activities with the emphasis on the outdoors. This means we also offer occasional activities on other nights and weekends which may be at extra cost.

Meetings are run by a trained, experienced, Cub Scout Leader who is supported by a team of Assistant Cub Scout Leaders and helpers who have all been vetted by an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau checks.

The Cub Scout Promise & Law

As with the other sections of 1st Bedworth, Cubs wear a uniform to their Pack Night and to some other activities.

A smart green coloured sweatshirt,

Royal blue necka’

Black or dark grey trousers or shorts

Black, navy blue, or dark grey socks

Black boots or shoes

The sweatshirt is available from us and costs £12.50 The necka’ is presented free when the recruit is invested, and most Cubs wear their school trousers and shoes with their uniform.

Once a new recruit has their uniform they take part in a simple ceremony where they make the promise and become a full member. This ceremony is called an 'investiture' and is held at the end of the section meeting. Parents are more than welcome to attend their child's investiture.

Cubs are expected to learn the Promise and Law before their investiture.

The Cub Scout Promise:

I promise that I will do my best, to do my duty to God and to the Queen, to help other people and to keep the Cub Scout Law

The Cub Scout Law:

Cub Scouts always do their best, think of others before themselves, and do a good turn every day.
