We make sure that every Cub is able to try new things and experience exciting events every year. You might be sleeping on a train, or camping under the stars with the rest of the group. All of our Cubs are encouraged to try new things, and while you don't need to b a master mountaineer, you'll have great fun climbing trees, flying dfown zip-wires, and taking part in all sorts of things you might never have done before.

Our main goal is to give each Cub the chance to achieve the Chief Scout's Silver award – the top award for members of the Cub Pack – by helping them earn their challenge awards and six activity badges.

We'll encourage each Cub to try something they wouldn't normally do, whether it's something new that might scare us a little bit, or sewing the seeds of leadership by getting them to help their team. Achieving a Challenge Award is no easy task.

Helping our Cubs to achieve these awards is what we do, and sometimes they won't even know they're learning something new. Whether it's making rope with a machine they've helped to build, or building a bridge out of spaghetti and marshmallows, we're all about helping Cubs through key areas of our programme: outdoors, adventure, teamwork and team leadership, skills and the world we live in.

Activitiy badges are also awarded through our programme, but the progress they make and efforts they put in outside of our sessions and events can also help Cubs earn other badges. We always give our young members a platform to show their progress in existing pursuits while encouraging them to try all kinds of new things and form new interests.

We encourage our Cubs and their grown-ups to find out more about the challenge awards and activity badges on the Scouts website.
