Help 8 to 10.5-year-olds get thinking and get stuck in. Cubs is all about building confidence and trying things for the first time.

We’re looking for people to help lead the way by:

• Getting stuck into practical adventures like outdoor cooking, basic first aid, or learning how to use a compass.
• Helping them get thinking as they work together in ""Sixes"" (small teams) to solve puzzles and complete tricky challenges.
• Being the 'go-getter' who encourages Cubs to 'give it a go' when they’re feeling a bit nervous about a brand-new activity.
• Helping them get back up and try again if a plan doesn't work out, showing them that making mistakes is just part of the fun.
• Sharing your own skills for the future—like leadership or problem solving—to inspire the next generation of doers and joiners.

What skills do I need?

You don't need to be an expert camper or a knot-tying pro—we value your personality above all else. We are looking for people who are:

• Relatable and grounded: Someone who can talk human-to-human with young people and volunteers.
• Ready to give it a go: A ""go-getter"" who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty or try something new alongside the Scouts.
• Inclusive: Someone who believes everyone is welcome, regardless of their background.
• Team players: Happy to work with other adults to deliver an inspiring programme.
