Cubs
Cubs (Cub Scouts) is for young people aged 8 to 10½. The pack is a team, and Cubs learn to work together, take on bigger challenges, and grow in independence and confidence.
What Cubs do
Our Cub pack meets for 75 minutes every Monday evening. Activities span a huge range — from outdoor skills and first aid to cooking, science, and creative challenges. Cubs also go on camps and day trips throughout the year.
Teamwork & challenges
Working together as a pack on team challenges, games and active fun.
Outdoor skills
A first taste of campcraft, first aid and getting things done outdoors.
Activity & challenge badges
Badges across dozens of topics — there really is something for everyone.
Pack camps & day trips
Camps and day trips through the year — often a Cub’s first night away.
Community & conservation
Community projects and conservation that make a real difference locally.
District & County events
Gang Shows, sports competitions and big events with packs from across Glasgow.

Cubs in the Jungle Book
The Cubs section has a tradition of "jungle names" from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Akela (the wise wolf) leads the pack, and Cubs learn to work as a pack — together they can do more.
Top award
Silver Chief Scout's Award
The Silver Award is the highest award in Cubs — earned by completing a range of challenge awards and activity badges across the whole programme.
See the badge guideThe Cub Scout Promise
When they're ready, Cubs make their Promise in front of the pack — a milestone families are warmly invited to come along and share.
Scouting is open to people of all faiths and of none. Everyone makes a version of the Promise that is meaningful to them, no matter their background or belief.
