Develop new skills. Soar to great heights. Do more and unlock a whole new world.
We meet on Wednesdays, from 18:30 to 20:00
Master new skills, make new friends, go on fun new adventures
Cubs introduces 8 to 10½ year-olds to all sorts of exciting new activities, people and things
Our Cub pack meets up every week, and take part in lots of interesting and challenging activities, spending time in the great outdoors, and going on amazing adventures. Cubs go camping, racing down rivers, set up hammocks, build dens in the park, go on moonlit hikes and make the most of everything.
As a Cub, your young person will learn new skills by doing them, and so will you. They'll learn practical skills, like how to cook a delicious meal, light a fire, and give first aid. But the most important skills they'll learn will help them feel confident and happy in any situation life throws at them.

We work towards the Chief Scout's Silver award
Cubs complete their challenge awards to earn the top award for the section
Being a Scout is all about giving new things a go, and growing as a person, and from your very first day as a Scout, you'll be earning badges and awards, starting with your World Membership Badge, and going from there. You can work towards as many as you like, at your own pace, ant by the time you've left the Cub pack and joined the Scout troop, you'll have badges all over your sweater!
Our main goal is to give each Beaver Scout the opportunity to earn the coveted Chief Scout's Bronze Award - the top award for members of the Beaver Colony - by helping them earn all six of their challenge awards and four activity badges.
Earning challenge awards and activity badges
Challenge awards are designed to do exactly that - challenge you. They make you step outside of your comfort zone, try things you wouldn't usually be interested in, or take the lead on something that you think is a bit scary. Earning a challenge award is a huge achievement, and you'll need to complete a number of ambitious tasks - not just within your colony, but in the wider community.
We give our Cubs loads of support along the way, by creating and taking part in a wide range of events and activities that will help them earn activity badges as part of completing their challenges and, as they reach the end of their journey with Cubs, we'll give them a personal challenge to work on in the run up to completing their time in the pack.
Earning activity badges away from Cubs
We also recognise the progress and efforts our Cubs put in outside of their meetings, events and activities that we run, and many of the badges available to Cubs give our young members a platform to show off their progress in the things they do every day, encouraging them to try new things and form new interests.
You can look at all the activity badges available for Cubs to work towards on the Scouts website.
How old are Cub Scouts?
Cubs welcomes all young people between 8 and 10½ years of ageCubs are usually young people aged between 8 and 10½ though, when it comes to age, we have some flexibility to extend that age range within the guidelines issued by Scouts. We can welcome young people from the age of 7½ as long as they're ready to join us, and we’ll usually discuss this with you when you’re joining.
Similarly, when it comes to deciding on when to move up to Scouts, we offer flexibility in choosing the right time to move on. For example, it will often make sense for friendship groups in Cubs to move up to Scouts together, so we can make allowances up to the age of 11 for those that need it.
If your young person is below the age of 7½ then you may wish to consider joining Beavers, or add them to our New Member Waiting List for Cubs
Join Cubs at 9th Warwick Emscote Scout Group
We welcome all young people between 8 and 10½ years of age
Joining Cubs with us is a great way to get your young person started on their Scouting journey. Our group has a fantastic track record of keeping young people interested - some of our Scouts started their journey with us as Beavers and have already moved on to Explorer Scout Units across the district.
Cubs is open to all, and we are usually able to tweak things to make sure that everyone is able to join in the fun. If you've got any questions about how we can make Cubs accessible to your young person, get in touch with us and we'll have a chat. Being upfront from the start gives us the advantage of being able to work together in partnership to ensure that your young person has the best possible experience in Scouts.
What you’ll need in order to join
All you need to do is register your details on our new members waiting list. As soon as your young person reaches the age to join Cubs, and we have a space in the pack, we'll get in touch and invite you and your young person to their first session.
You won't need a uniform to join Cubs, but once you've joined and settled in, you'll be earning all sorts of brilliant badges, so you'll need somewhere to put them. When your young person is nearly ready to make their Promise, we’ll let you know how to get your uniform.
Invest in your young person’s future with us
By joining Scouts, your young person becomes part of a worldwide movement, dedicated to helping them develop skills they can use in the real world, while having fun, adventure and making new friends. We’re so confident that your young person will love Cubs that their first session is free of charge. After this, a membership fee will become due.
Alternatively, if you’ve got any questions, if you’d like to arrange a visit, or if you’d like to speak with a member of the team before you make a decision, you can get in touch with us using any of the methods shown below:
