2010/11
This year Chobham Cubs has run a varied and exciting program for youngsters aged 8-10.5years. Our aim is to help youngster become responsible and independent citizens. We concentrate on traditional Cub scouting skills such as map reading, camp cookery, camping, field skills and knots. However we are also aware of the changing world around us and aim to provide a programme that stimulates children to be innovative and resourceful. Please see the Cubs website for more information at: http://scouts.org.uk/cubs/.
