The Packs

GENERAL
As at today we operate two packs, namely "The Golden Quill" and "The Scarlet Feather". Our packs are both co-educational meaning we're mixed. Within each pack, cubs are broken into small groups called "Sixes". Currently we have eight sixes, four in every pack. The colours are White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Maroon, Brown and Grey Six.

THEME
The Cub Scouts are based on Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book". It provides a sense of outdoor adventure and fantasy that appeals to a Cub's imaginative mind. That's why we are called Cubs and all cubs are referred to a "Pack". Leaders are called using jungle names like Akela, Bagheera, Baloo, Raksha...etc. These were animals who helped Mowgli (the missing boy) survive in the jungle. And Leaders are compared to these animals, helping cubs to develop a good character and discipline.

LEADERS
Leaders are all on voluntary basis. At the moment we have 6 fully qualified Leaders and another 6 undergoing training within our packs. Together we plan and work towards one goal.....that of giving cubs a good time while learning team-work, discipline and indipendence.
