Good to know

Uniform

Cubs wear a green sweatshirt and a Group scarf (necker). Uniform can be bought new or second-hand, we're happy to advise on what's essential to start.

Costs

Subscriptions are typically £3 to 5 per week, covering weekly meetings, activities and insurance. Camps and trips cost extra. Support is available, just ask, in confidence.

Camps and sleepovers

Cubs enjoy indoor and outdoor camps and district events through the year, plus an annual summer camp. All camps are risk-assessed and led by qualified leaders.

Inclusion and additional needs

We welcome every young person. Let us know what support would help and we'll have a confidential chat, you don't need to share diagnoses or medical detail to get started.

Every young person is welcome at Cubs. See our inclusion and support page, or talk to us in confidence.
