Wolf Cub Program: (8-11 years of age)
Cubbing is built around a lively variety of games, crafts,
music, storytelling, playacting and the outdoors.
The Cub program focuses around six activity areas: The Natural World,
Outdoors, Creative Expression, Healthy Living, Home and Community, and
Canada and the World.
Individual interests and skills are recognized through simple awards.
The Wolf Cub theme is based on Rudyard Kipling's 'The Jungle Book'.
The 'pack' refers to all members in your childs Cub program. Within
the pack, Cubs are broken into small groups called 'sixes'. A Cub who
is asked to lead a 'six' is called a 'sixer'. The sixer has an assistant
called a 'second'. Cubs usually rotate through these early leadership
jobs based on age and experience.
After learning a bit about Cubs, your child will be ready to be invested
or formally welcomed into the pack. Parents are invited to attend the
investiture ceremony.
Wolf Cub Promise: I promise to do my
best. To love and serve God, to do my duty to the Queen, To keep the
law of the Wolf Cub pack, And to do a good turn for somebody every day.
Wolf Cub Law: The Cub respects the Old
Wolf*. The Cub respects him or herself. (* an Old Wolf refers to a leader
or any respected adult)
Wolf Cub Motto: Do your best.
