Cubs

1st Faversham Leopard and Hyena Cub Packs both meet on Tuesday nights at 6.45pm, at Shepherd Park.

Cubs are young people aged 8 to 10½ who:

• Master new skills and try new things
• Have fun and go on adventures
• Make friends
• Are curious about the world around them
• Help others and make a difference, in their communities, and beyond

Being a Cub is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. Here are some of the things you’ll get up to with your new friends.

Going on adventures

Experience the 3G Swing, search for shark’s teeth on the beach, enjoy the zip wire or perfect your archery skills - even though you might not be ready to climb Mount Everest just yet, you’re guaranteed to have plenty of adventures on your own doorstep, because being a Cub is all about making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.

Learning new skills

Cubs learn by doing, and so will you. Some of the skills you develop will be practical, others will be about teamwork, determination and more; helping you to succeed in whichever job you decide to do when you grow up! Recently our Cubs have perfected their cooking skills from baking to cooking over an open fire, they’ve worked on their design and engineering skills with knots and lashings. We’ve made AirFix models and much more! Whatever skills you’d like to learn, it’s all about having the courage to try new things and learn from them.

Helping others

Cubs work as a team to help other people. Together, you’ll learn about global issues and what we can all do to help solve them. You’ll also make an impact in your own community, through activities such as supporting homeless charities, litter picking on the beach or making bug hotels and other projects to enhance our local environment.
