Cubs (8-10 years)
Our Cub Section meets weekly on a Monday evening and get stuck in to a huge range of activities including watersports, hiking, sports and science. Through Cubs children have the oppurunity to attend camps and sleepovers (often in cool places; e.g. sealife centre). Joining cubs is a great way to gain life skills, explore the great outdoors and make new friends.
