4th Braid Scout Group

About Cubs

The Cub Pack is the second section of the 4th Braid Scout Group.

Cub Scouts follow on from Beavers. They meet for an hour and a half per week. The programme is more advanced to reflect the age range and increased ability.

Activities and Badges

Cub Scouts work towards their Chief Scout’s Silver Award, the highest award a Cub Scout can achieve. There are 7 Challenge badges for Cubs and these are awarded based on effort and achievement.

There are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cubs Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Uniform:

There is no need to wear uniform for the first short period until the young person decides to stay. New uniforms are sold on the Scout Store at: Scout Store.
It’s wise to name uniforms (and indeed other clothing)! There is an active second-hand market for uniforms if you don’t want to buy new.

Camp and Events

As well as providing a great programme focussing on fun activities, badges, and adventure, all the sections run special activities and camps.

These are optional but are lots of fun. They will typically incur their own fee which is subsidised by our fundraising. But it’s really important to us that no young person is left out because of financial issues. If you would like to ask about part or full funding for any activity or camp, please feel free to have a quiet word with any leader. The leaders will advise with plenty notice, the dates of upcoming events or activities which require sign up and/or payment. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Subscriptions

Our fundraising efforts mean we can keep subscription costs low. The subscriptions more or less cover our fees to the Scout Association. Subscriptions amount annually to £81 for each member of the Group.

They are paid in three instalments, in October, January and April. We are a registered charity and can reclaim Gift Aid on the subscriptions, so we ask families to sign a Gift Aid declaration if they pay tax.
