    What do Cubs get up to?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Being a Cub is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. Here are some of the things they\u2019ll get up to with their new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Going on adventures<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Race down a river. Tell stories by torchlight. Fall asleep beneath the stars. Alongside their Pack, they\u2019ll spend plenty of time in the great outdoors. Together, they might build a den in a local park, or create an edible raft out of sweets, or go on a moonlit hike through Cardiff. And even though they might not be ready to climb Mount Everest just yet, you\u2019re guaranteed to have plenty of adventures on their own doorstop, because being a Cub is all about making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Learning new skills<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Cubs learn by doing. Some of the skills they will develop will be practical, like knowing how to cook a delicious meal or give someone first aid. Others will allow them to become a master at a chosen hobby, or help them to succeed with a future challenge. But the most important skills they\u2019ll learn at Cubs are the ones that will make you feel confident and happy in their own skin. We call these character skills, and they include things like integrity \u2013 which means being honest and doing what you think is right \u2013 and initiative \u2013 which means knowing how to take the lead on something without being asked. Whatever skills they\u2019d like to learn, it\u2019s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Helping others<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Cubs work as a team to help other people. Together, they\u2019ll learn about global issues and what we can all do to help solve them. You\u2019ll also make an impact in your own community, through activities such as campaigning to save your local library, collecting donations for a foodbank, or planting trees in a neighbouring park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    What does a Cub Pack look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Each Pack is made up of young people aged 8 to 10, led by an adult Cub leader traditionally nicknamed Akela<\/strong> after the wise leader of the wolf pack in Rudyard Kipling\u2019s novel, The Jungle Book.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As well as the Cub leader, other adults are on hand to supervise activities, share their skills and keep everyone safe. Other young people aged 14 to 18 might help out, too. These are Explorer Scouts taking part in the Explorer Scout Young Leader programme. Within their Pack, Cubs are also part of a Six. A Six is a smaller group of Cubs, headed up by a Sixer and a Seconder. Sixers and Seconders are Cub Scouts who are chosen to take on leadership responsibilities, such as welcoming new people to the Pack, being extra helpful on camp, or taking charge of a particular game or activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Promises and ceremonies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When a new cub joins the Pack, they\u2019ll explore these ideas by making a promise. A promise is a set of words that mean something to a cub, which they\u2019ll try to follow everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Making the promise is a big celebration within the Pack. Every time a new Cub decides to join permanently, they chat through their promise with their Cub leader before saying it out loud in front of their fellow Cubs. Family and friends can come along to see this, too. The process is known as being \u2018invested\u2019 into Cubs, and it usually takes place a few weeks into a Cubs experience, once they\u2019ve had time to settle in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everyone is unique but there are some things all Cubs agree on \u2013 such as the importance of treating everyone in the Pack with kindness, and doing their best to care for the community and wider world in which they live. Cubs make a promise to do their best to make a positive contribution to society. Depending on their own beliefs, they might also promise to live by their faith.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
