The Cub Pack is open to boys aged between 8 and 10.5 years of age. Places in the Fulwood Pack are normally filled from the Beaver Colony, however they are also offered to others who fulfil the following criteria:

• Those who move into the area who are already enrolled Cubs in a different Pack.
• Any others of the appropriate age, in order of date of their entry to the waiting list.

Almost all adults in Scouting, including uniformed Leaders, are volunteers and as such they give their time for free.

The Cub Pack Leaders have overall responsibility for the Pack, and the activities which members take part in. There are other helpers including young Scouts and sometimes Guides working towards their service awards. Parents are also requested to help with outdoor activities.

The Fulwood Cub Pack meet on a Monday night. Meetings start at 6:45pm and finish at 8:00pm unless otherwise informed.

The current programme is shown below. If you have any suggestions for future activities please let Akela know Here. [please remove the spam trap i.e. the number 999 before sending your e-mail]

Scouts is a uniformed organisation. All Cub Scouts are expected to wear uniform for:

• Pack Meetings,
• when arriving and departing from events and
• for Parades.

Boys should take pride in their uniform and do their best to look smart. Uniform consists of:

Green polo shirt Group Neckerchief - Grey with Purple Stripe Coloured Plastic Woggle Navy Blue activity trousers

Cubs can work towards a number badges during their time in the Pack. The main badges worked for are the Challenges, leading to the Chief Scout's Silver Award, the top award that can be earned in Cubs. There are Five Challenges, and the requirements for them can be found in the Cub Scout Logbook, or viewed on ScoutBase UK [go to Scoutbase UK Cub Scout Index]

It is hoped that parents will want to support their son's Scout Group. There are many ways in which this support can be given:

• Helping with occasional meetings and outdoor activities,
  where a 1 to 4 leader ratio is required
• Transport for your son to venues for events and meetings
• By supporting the Group's fund raising activities
• Attending the Group's A.G.M.

Scouting costs money. The Leaders do their best to offer quality Scouting for the lowest possible cost. The main source of income for the Group is the Membership Subscription paid by all members. Subs are currently paid on a Term basis.
