Cubs

Cubs, aged 8 to 10½, get stuck into a huge variety of activities – from cooking outdoors to learning practical skills, hiking, building things and helping in their communities. It’s all about growing independence and having real adventures with friends.

8–10½ years

Cubs can earn loads of badges by trying activities, learning new skills and working as a team. See all Cub badges.
