Cub Scout families are welcome to get involved too! Cub Scouts are always having adventures. You might get to go abseiling, rock climbing, go-karting, sailing or canoeing. Cub Scouts learn valuable life skills such as leadership and taking responsibility for themselves.
They are taught the value of citizenship and how to give back to their communities. All these opportunities are provided at Cub Scouts. Cub Scouts wear a blue polo or button-up shirt with yellow sleeves. They will also be given a scarf and badges to sew on the uniform.
