We need leaders. Children are waiting to join our Scout group. Our Cubs pack is currently full — not because we lack children eager to join, but because we don’t have enough adults to lead them.

Cub leaders

Cubs is popular and places are limited by the number of adult volunteers we have. Could you help more young people get a place to belong? All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe, inclusive and accessible. Some lead the Pack week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.
