The 1st Pinhoe Cub Scout Pack provides fun and adventure for boys between the ages of 8 and 10½.
Pinhoe is in Exeter, in Devon, England. The Cub Scout Pack meets weekly and is one section of the 1st Pinhoe Scout Group. Your son may be coming to us from the youngest section - the Beaver Scouts - or he may be joining us directly. When he reaches 10½ years old he'll be invited to move up to the Scout Troop.
The Pack is divided into small groups of boys called “Sixes”, led by an older boy called a “Sixer”. Some activities are done in Sixes, and some are done with the whole Pack together. Your son will become a member of one of the Sixes. We will try to put him in a Six that he can make friends with, but if he can't get on after a couple of weeks we will move him into a Six that he prefers.
The first few weeks that your son is with us, he will not formally be a Cub Scout. He will be learning a few essential things that he needs to know, and having a “taster” of what he can expect from being in the Pack.
| If he then still wants to make the commitment of being a Cub we will have a short “Investiture” ceremony, where he will be welcomed as a full member of the Pack. He will probably want to invite you to be there at his Investiture. And being a Cub Scout does involve a commitment. At his Investiture he will be expected to make a Promise, and then he will be expected to live up to his Promise. |  |
| The Cub Scout Promise is: | ||
| I promise that I will do my best, | ||
| to do my duty to God and to the Queen, | ||
| to help other people | ||
| and to keep the Cub Scout Law. | ||
| The Cub Scout Law (which he is promising to keep) is: | ||
| Cub Scouts always do their best, | ||
| think of others before themselves | ||
| and do a good turn every day. | ||
At his Investiture he will be presented with his Scout Membership badge, and Group and District badges, to sew on to his uniform.
