A Beginners Guide to Cub Scouting

WELCOME TO CUB SCOUTING - whether you have joined Scouting for the first time or have decided to take on a leadership role after being a Member for a number of years. The Cub Scout Section is well known for its great enthusiasm and love of adventure, and that includes the Leaders! Working with young people brings many rewards, including plenty of challenges and the increased friendship of adults from all walks of life, with similar interests to your own - we hope you will have lots of fun. 

WHAT IS THE SCOUT ASSOCIATION?
The Scout Association is a youth Organisation, founded by Lord Baden-Powell, which now has approximately 650,000 members in the United Kingdom. There are 25 million Scouts spread throughout the world today. Girls may be admitted to all Sections with the approval of the Group members. All Beaver Scouts. Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venture Scouts, Leaders and Commissioners who have made their Promise and paid the Headquarters Membership Subscription are Members of The Association.

The Scout Law is:

  1. A Scout is to be trusted
  2. A Scout is loyal
  3. A Scout is friendly and considerate
  4. A Scout belongs to the worldwide family of Scouts
  5. A Scout has courage in all difficulties
  6. A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property
  7. A Scout has self respect and respect for others
 

The Scout Association's Members belong to many different faiths and religions. There are different forms of the Promise that can be made if the words above are not consistent with your religious obligations. Whatever the words though, the essential spirit of the Promise remains the same. Ask your Group Scout Leader if you are unsure about this.
