Cherokee Cub Pack meets on a Monday evening from 18:45 to 20:15. Our section offers a dynamic and engaging programme of activities both indoor and outdoor including: Hiking, crafts, map work, cooking on fires, abseiling, first aid, DIY, science, pioneering and many more. This allows the Cubs to develop a wide range of Scouting and life skills. The programme allows the Cubs to earn a wide range of badges and work for the Chief Scout Silver award. The Pack also offers several residential opportunities each year with camps in May, July and November.
The Cub section is for boys and girls between 8 and 10½ years old. Cherokee benefits from a strong and skilled Leadership team, and anyone wishing to offer adult support is always welcome.
