Hi and a big
welcome to Cub page of the Lisburn and District website. This page will
give you an idea of what Cubs are about and hopefully you’ll be
interested enough to come along and join us.
|
Formed in
1916, you can
join Cub Scouts between 7¾ - 8 years of age
before moving up to Scouts between 10½ and 11 years of age. Cubs meet as
groups
(known as a Pack), usually weekly at each of 14 venues around our
District.
|
 |
 |
There are
loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a
chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music,
exploring, computing, canoeing,
orienteering, model building, grass sledging, night hikes, open fire
cooking and loads of others besides. If you do
them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
|
|
With over 38 different activity badges to choose from, you
will never bored at a Pack meeting. Don’t just take our word for it, go
to
http://www.scouts.org.uk/cubs/ and
see the fantastic things we and other Cubs throughout the rest of the UK
get up to. At other times you will be able to go camping or go on
holiday with the rest of your Pack, which may mean sleeping in a tent
and when at camp being able to do lots of exciting outdoor and indoor
activities. |

 |
We currently
have over 150 Cubs in the District. Each Cub Pack is a member of a Scout
Group and each Scout Group is a member of our District. There are
currently 14 Scout Groups in our District from Anahilt to Maghaberry to
Derriaghy to Lambeg to Central Lisburn to Seymour Hill. We also run a
number of annual District Cub competitions such as indoor and outdoor
football, a quiz, sports day and an activity challenge day. |
