Cubs: Adventure, Achievement & What’s Next

It’s been another action-packed term for our Cubs, full of fun, challenge, and big achievements.

Sleepover Fun and Team Spirit

We kicked things off with a joint sleepover in the hall, packed with games, a campfire, and of course, s’mores! After all the excitement, we settled down with a movie before attempting some sleep (with mixed success!). It was a brilliant chance for Cubs from both packs to come together, build friendships, and enjoy a shared adventure.

Ice Skating and Celebrating Success

We finished the term with another joint session—this time taking to the ice at Murrayfield Ice Rink. There were a few wobbles and falls at the start, but by the end, confidence had grown and skills had improved.

To top it all off, we handed out an incredible 324 badges across the two packs—an amazing reflection of all the effort and progress made this term.

Top Awards and Proud Moments

A huge congratulations to Alexander, Grayson, Aidan and Tom, who all achieved their Chief Scout’s Silver Award—the highest award a Cub can earn. This is a significant accomplishment, recognising their commitment, resilience, and willingness to try new challenges. They should be incredibly proud.

Skills, Badges and New Experiences

Throughout the term, Cubs have been busy working towards a wide range of badges, including:

• Collector Activity Badge
• Scientist Activity Badge
• Digital Maker and Digital Citizen Staged Badges
• Emergency Aid Staged Badge

A special thank you goes to Mark for giving his time to teach the Cubs vital first aid skills—an experience that could make a real difference in the future.

Looking Ahead to More Adventure

There’s plenty to look forward to next term, including a weekend camp with water sports at Invertrossachs Scout Centre, more water activities at Longcraig, and an exciting visit to learn about RNLI lifeboats.

Get Involved – Join the Cubs Team

Everything our Cubs achieve—from sleepovers and skating to badges and big awards—happens because of volunteers who give their time and energy.

We’re always looking for parents, carers, and members of the local community to help out. You don’t need any special experience—just a willingness to get involved and support young people as they grow in confidence and try new things.

Whether you can help occasionally or more regularly, you can make a real difference.

Join us and be part of the adventure!
