Our Cub program is for boys and girls, ages 8 to 10 based on the end of the calendar year. The Cub program starts in September and goes to the end of June.
Meetings are held on Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00. There are several camps through out the year. We tend to head to cabin camping through the winter, but spend our days outdoors; pioneering and exploring. We tend to have 12-16 nights away from home through out the year. Also, we will have several meetings out and about on a regular basis. We go kayaking, join parades, campfires, hikes, geocaching, fishing, sailing, swimming, climbing, etc. There are three big parties throught the year, Halloween, Christmas and a Swim up in the spring. If you are looking for more information about registration or our program, please contact us at Cubs@1stAirdrieScouts.com and we will happily answer your questions!
Welcome to the Jungle!
Using the Jungle Map of balanced program activities as a guideline, Cubs explore new challenges and plan adventures as a Pack. Together, you and your fellow Cubs will navigate the very same jungle that Mowgli roamed in The Jungle Book. The jungle is a fun place to seek out new challenges that you can face either as a Pack or with your Lair.
Cubs are accompanied by Bagheera, Baloo, Raksha and Akela – symbolic representations selected for the Scouters, who guide and support your Pack and Lair through all your adventures. Each area on the map puts the six program areas of Scouting into practice: Environment & Outdoors, Leadership, Active & Healthy Living, Citizenship, Creative Expression and Beliefs & Values. By planning and organizing with fellow Cubs, you can use Trail Cards to explore fun ways of learning the program areas. For example, you may want to visit Council Rock on the map, which calls for a demonstration in leadership. This will encourage you to think of leadership opportunities to achieve, like bringing a friend to your next Scouting meeting and introducing them to your Lair.
The Jungle Map for the Cub Scout Section depicts the six Program Areas of the Canadian Path as places to visit in the jungle, all inspired by the Cubs’ symbolic framework of The Jungle Book.
