Cubs @ 48th

So, What do Cubs do?

Aim of the game: Striving for Silver

The Highest Award in Cubs is the Chief Scout Silver Award, and requires the competion of the 7 challenges badges to be gained as well as 6 activity or staged activity badges.

The Challenge badges are:

Due to the diversity of the programme, over the course of your Cubs time in the pack, they should earn all the badges needed to get their Highest Award before they move on to Scouts, the 10.5-14 section and final section at the 48th.

#YouShape

At Scouts, young people learn how to speak up and take the lead. But they told us that the programme didn’t recognise this enough. That’s what the new YouShape Award is all about.

The award is split into four badges. Young people will earn the central badge first and then choose the order in which they earn the rest. They can decide on their requirements and what they want to do and are then work with their leader to decide when they've met each requirement.

The first Cub meeting. The first night away from home. The first hike.

All of these moments are great for developing young people’s confidence, but we know how daunting it can be for the one packing their overnight bag and waving them off at the gates. And we know it doesn’t necessarily get easier as they grow.

Young people thrive in secure surroundings, at home and away. Wherever we go, we’re serious about keeping them safe.

As a parent or carer, you’re bound to have questions about how we do this. Read here to find out more.
