Who We Are
Our Cub Pack is a lively and welcoming group for children aged 8 to 10½, offering weekly sessions full of fun, learning, and adventure. We currently have 34 Cubs attending regularly, supported by a dedicated team of volunteer leaders and young leaders — many of whom are Heriot’s parents and pupils.
Being a Cub
When you join Cubs, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.
What We Do
Cubs take part in a wide range of activities including outdoor skills, games, crafts, team challenges, and community service. We work towards activity badges and challenge awards that recognise effort, teamwork, and personal development. Whether it’s learning to light a fire, build a shelter, or help others, Cubs are encouraged to try new things and grow in confidence.
Cub Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Activities and what you’ll get up to
Prepare for excitement and adventure! Try huge variety of activities surrounding areas of fitness, global and beliefs; be creative and get involved in your local community. Learn exciting outdoor skills and take part in adventurous activities, as well as camps and residential experiences.
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Cub leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Pack week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.
