Prepare to become
a Cub Scout



Cub Scouts is for boys and girls aged 8 to 10 years, and focuses on exploring the outdoors, discovery and learning interesting things! Cub Scouts belong to a Pack and begin to learn leadership and teamwork in small teams called Sixes.

If you enjoy fun, games and learning new skills then you'll love being a Cub Scout! You'll get to go on camps with your Pack, 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 bush walks, bike trips, and have the chance to do things like sailing, canoeing, abseiling and sometimes even flying!

Your Cub Scout Leader will help you along the way and encourage you to take part. You'll learn life-long skills, make friends and have fun! Cub Scouts are keen to learn , belong, and have fun, so our activities are designed to stimulate their emotional and adventurous spirits.

friendship and belonging





Making new friends and building social skills are very important for Cub Scouts. For some, belonging to Cub Scouts provides an opportunity to mix with a new group of people, developing their confidence and ability to make new friends. Cub Scout families are welcome to get involved too! There’s lots of opportunities for the whole family to make new friends and feel part of the community too.



adventure





Cub Scouts are always having adventures. You may get to go abseiling, rock-climbing, go-karting, sailing or canoeing. There's lots of camping to be done, and your Pack might go on a Pack Holiday together to somewhere you've never been before.



leadership and community





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.



uniforms and badges





Cub Scouts wear a blue polo shirt with yellow sleeves. They will also be given a scarf and badges to sew on their uniform. One of the best things about Cub Scouts are the number of badges you can earn to sew on your uniform.


When you first talk with the Cub Scout Leader about joining, they will give you information about what to wear and bring to the first meeting. You can buy your Cub Scout uniform from the Scout Shop.

  • At least one person trained in first aid attends all major events.
  • At least two adults are present at all meetings and events.
  • We will liaise with you to ensure we have the information necessary to cater for your child's individual medical, physical, and dietary requirements.
  • The Scouts Queensland Branch has a team of people responsible for child safety who action any concerns that parents or children may have regarding safety.
