This section meets every Saturday between 3pm-5pm but in Summer, every Wednesday 3.30-5pm by the sea.

Akela is the Cub Scout Leader and has two assistants, Baloo and Chill. 
We organise hikes on a monthly basis, during which we practice basic skills on mapping and orienteering, cooking on an open fire and highway code.  These hikes help our cubs to enjoy the outdoor life and gives them the opportunity to run free in safe areas.

As a section we organise camps twice a year, as well as taking part in the group camps and the National Camp organised by our Association. Once a year we also hold a cultural outing.

 


The meetings are initiated with the 'Grand Howl' and prayers followed by a game. Afterwards there are talks based on the programme prepared by the Association. At the end of the meeting, cubs who have a specified talk chosen from the Proficiency work, present this talk to the other cubs (Public Speaking is the motive here).


Arrow work is split into Bronze, Silver and Gold Arrows and each arrow is for a specific age group. The talks center round scouting skills (knotting, open fire and others), helping others (first aid, etc), environment and our country.  The members are split in small groups for these talks as this helps the leader to deal with every child’s needs.

There are also Proficiency Badges to be earned, some of which are chosen by the cubs themselves.  The scout programme offers various badges for a great variety of skills, thereby allowing every member to find something which will motivate the individual to work hard and hence be rewarded for that work. At scouts one can find a great variety of activies to motivate one’s skills.

The cubs are split into groups of sixes of varying ages, each 'six' being identified by a specific colour. Each six is lead by a sixer and a second (this is training for leadership).
