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.
