About Cubs
Welcome to Llanishen and Lisvane Cub Pack, from all the Leaders. We aim to make Cubs fun. We want you to make new friends, grow in awareness of other people and the world around you and start to develop leadership skills by the time you leave Cubs to go to Scouts. We go camping every summer and usually go on a weekend away during the Easter break, as well as fun trips throughout the year. We often take part in District and County events with other Cub Packs. In these modern times of computers and TV's, it is important to experience as much of the countryside as possible, so we spend lots of time outdoors, during our pack nights. We hope that you will always remember the great times you had in Cubs and some of the skills you learnt.
Cubs was originally based on the theme of the Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling, so you will discover that there is a Leader called Akela and we have a Grand Howl at the beginning of every Pack night. Cubs are expected to arrive at Pack nights and events looking smart and taking pride in their uniform.
On starting Cubs, you will be given a Power Pack which will tell you all about the ceremonies in the Cub Pack and the badges you can gain during your time with us. When you have been in Cubs for approximately four weeks, you will be invested. After your investiture, you wear the black and red neckerchief of the Group with the coloured woggle of your Six.
The Power Pack gives you information about the activity badges, challenges and group awards which you can gain during your time as a Cub. Some of these badges we will work on as a whole Pack, others you can do at home with the help of your parents or teachers. The final badge which you can be awarded is the Chief Scout's Silver Award, which you will receive before you move to Scouts.

During the Easter holidays, we usually have a weekend away in a bunkhouse and your Dad is invited to join us on the weekend. This is a great time to see if he remembers any campfire songs. We also go camping at least once a year.
