Cub scouts
​Aged 8-11 Years

The Cub Scout section focuses on exploring the outdoors, setting challenges and encountering new experiences! Cub Scouts can:

• Create their own paths
• Develop their sense of place
• Explore the world around them
• Encounter new experiences
• Expand their perspectives
• Determine their own adventures
• Build upon friendships

You’ll get to go on camps with your Unit, and you might attend a Cuboree camp with hundreds of other Cub Scouts! As well as learning things like how to use a compass, you’ll go on bushwalks, bike trips, and have the chance to do things like sailing, canoeing, abseiling and sometimes even flying!​

​Badges and Awards

Like all Scouts, Cub Scouts participate in the Achievement Pathways and are presented with badges to recognise their achievements. The Achievement Pathways are a continuous series of personal achievements across the whole program. A Cub Scout can decide if they would like to achieve their peak award in this Section – the Grey Wolf Award. Click here to view the Grey Wolf Award Pathway.
