About Cubs

The Cub Scout program is all about discovering the great outdoors, taking on challenges, and having exciting new adventures. Cub Scouts have the opportunity to carve out their own journeys, deepen their connection to their surroundings, and explore the world around them. They can embrace new experiences, broaden their horizons, choose their own adventures, and strengthen friendships. You’ll have the chance to go camping with your Unit and possibly join a Cuboree camp with many other Cub Scouts. Along with learning skills like compass navigation, you’ll enjoy activities such as bushwalking, biking, and even try your hand at rock climbing, canoeing and abseiling.

How can I assist my Cub Scout with a Special Interest Area (SIA) Award?

Special Interest Area Awards are intended to be a challenge for each Cub Scout. Parents are often well placed to guide the choice of activity that will take about four to five hours to complete (including planning etc.). Please confirm with your leaders that an activity is suitable for an award. To receive their award, Cubs must briefly present the completed activity to other Cubs, usually as part of an opening or closing ceremony. Parents can often use the Special Interest Area awards as an encouragement to complete music lessons, sports, caring for pets etc.

Cub Scouts Award Scheme - Scouts NSW

This awards system begins in Joey Scouts and continues through each scouting section. The leaders will encourage and support all Cub Scouts' progress through the award system.
