1st Deddington Cub Pack is for boys and girls aged 8 – 10 ½. We meet every Thursday, in term time, between 18.00 and 19.30 at The Windmill Centre, Hempton Rd, Deddington. Scouting is one of the great success stories of the last 100 years. From an experimental camp for 20 boys on Brownsea island in 1907, it has spread to 216 countries and territories, with an estimated 28 million members.
Cubs is the second section of the Scouting movement, originally started in 1916 for younger brothers who wanted a ‘look-in’. In nearly a century, the section has constantly evolved and adapted its programme and methods to meet the changing needs of each generation of young people, and these days admits girls as well as boys.

Activity &
|
During their time with the cubs, your child will be involved in a varied programme covering many aspects of scouting, community and hobbies. This will of course include camping & all sorts of outdoor fun & for all their hard work they can earn a range of badges to wear on their uniform.
Joining in is an important aspect of Cub life & we attend many district & county events throughout the year. |
