cub scout meetings
cub scout pack meets once a week at the scout den on TUESDAY NIGHTS, DURING THE SCHOOL TERM, FROM 6.15PM – 7.45PM.
the trained cub scout leader and their assistants are in charge of ensuring that the cub scouts work well together and challenge themselves to do their best, while also meeting the development program goals for the week.
the leaders encourage their cubs to use their imaginations and foster their creative and mental abilities. cub scout meetings are full of energy and fun and our cubs go home with the confidence and the abilities to face whatever challenges or goals they set for themselves.
"cub scouts are keen to learn, belong, and have fun, so our activities are designed to stimulate their emotional and adventurous spirits."
a cub scout Unit is organised into three or four groups of six cub scouts called ‘PATROLS’. each patrol is named after a colour, and is led by an older cub scout called a‘patrol leader ’, and assisted by aN ‘ASSISTANT PATROL LEADER’.
the cub scout motto is do your best.
