Cub Scouts (Scouting Ireland)

[2] The Cub Scout programme is designed to provide adventure, fun and exploration, and to teach responsibility.

They spend more time working in small groups and making decisions as a team, with every Cub Scout having a job to do in the Six, and gaining additional responsibility as they develop.

The personal progressive scheme takes the form of badges which use a certain number of stages to determine how far along in the programme the Cub Scout is.

The Aim of Scouting is to develop young people Socially, Physically, Intellectually, Character, Emotionally, Spiritually.

The Programme, that the young people have designed with the help and assistance of Scouters follows a simple process; PLAN, DO, REVIEW.

The review process is important as it allows young people to learn by doing, reflect on their new knowledge, and carry it through to the next Programme step.

Scouters will assist in reviewing activities and help young people to reflect on their experiences and personal journey through Scouting.

[5][6] Patrols combine traditional Scouting skills, including camping and cooking, with team games.
