Cub Scouts offers activities for young people aged 8 – 10 including games, crafts, exploring as well as learning new skills to work towards a wide range of badges. 7th Elland Cub Scouts also get to go on camps and trips to places like the observatory in Todmorden and camping at Bradley Wood.
Recognised by their Green Sweatshirts, Cub Scouts enjoy a fun and exciting weekly programme, that challenge them to ‘do their best’.
During the Cub evening we run a fun and exciting programme, some of our sessions work toward badges that also encourage the development of lifelong skills to support the Cubs becoming independent, like our First Aid and Chef badge.

Being a Cub
When you join Cubs, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Here’s everything you need to know.
Cub Leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Colony week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
