Cubbing is built around a lively variety of games, crafts, music, storytelling,
play acting, spiritual fellowship and the outdoors. The Cub program focuses
around six activity areas: The Natural World, Outdoors, Creative Expression,
Healthy Living, Home and Community, and Canada and the World. Individual interests
and skills are recognized through simple awards.
The outdoors is an essential part of the Cub program. Weekend events, hikes
and overnight camping opportunities round out the Cubbing experience.
Cubs meet in a group called a pack. The pack is split into smaller groups
called sixes. There is one leader for every six Cubs. Each Cub learns a promise,
law and motto to help guide their personal development.
Wolf Cub Promise:
I promise to do my best
To love and serve God, to do my duty to the Queen;
To keep the law of the Wolf Cub pack,
And to do a good turn for somebody every day.
Wolf Cub Law:
The Cub respects the Old Wolf,
The Cub respects himself/herself.
Wolf Cub Motto:
Do Your Best
Cubs (boys and girls ages 8-10)
Outdoor Adventure
Challenging hikes, weekend camps, and an introduction to water activities
like canoeing or kayaking are just a few of the fun outdoor adventures that
Cubs enjoy.
With the Cub
motto of "Do Your Best" front
and centre, Cubs are encouraged to try new and more challenging activities.
Learning important first
aid skills, paddling a canoe for the first time, or leading a game at camp
will open the door for Cubs to try other adventures they never thought possible.
Cubs also experience an exciting variety of other activities: games and sports,
model-building, music, story-telling and play-acting. And like Beavers, Cubs
enjoy their adventures with their friends.
Cub Individual And Pack Specialty Badges
Scouts Canada is pleased to introduce two new Cub badges: the Individual Specialty
Badge, and the Pack Specialty Badge.
These badges allow you and/or your entire pack to design requirements for special
interest areas not already covered in the current badge and star system. We
wish we could offer badges to meet everyone’s special interests, but
there are so many possibilities! The list would be never-ending.
